9. Default. Time is of the essence in payment of due rents, and failure of the tenant to pay any payment on or before the due date shall constitute a default of rent agreement. If rent is not paid by the 10th day of the month due, Lessee will be in default and the space will be locked up by the Lessor.

9a. In the event of default in payment of rents, Lessor may enforce Lessor’s lien by seizure and sale of all contents of Tenants space by nonjudicial foreclosure under Chapeter 59, Texas Property Code. For purposes of statutory foreclosure, seizure occurs when Lessor both overlocks Lessee’s space and mails a statutory notice of claim to Lessee soon thereafter. If Lessor has sent statutory notice for claim for unpaid sums, Lessee is liable for a $20.00 charge. If foreclosure procedures are commenced, Lessee is liable for any and all costs incurred by Lessor including, but not limited to: newspaper ads and auctioneer fees.

Tenant has not paid rent or other sums due; (b.)Tenant’s lock has been removed by someone other than the Lessor or has been removed by Lessor when exercising a statutory seizure; and (c.) Tenant’s space contains nothing of value to the ordinary person. If the space has been “abandoned” as defined above, Tenant relinquishes all rights to contents in the space: and Lessor may remove any lock, enter, remove, and/or dispose of all contents. Unless the space has been “abandoned” or there has been a judicial eviction, Lessor may not dispose of any of its contents except by: (a.) exercising the lien seizure and sale procedures of Chapter 59, Texas Property Code; or (b.) entering in an “emergency” under paragraph 7 or allowing entry by a health or law officer under paragraph 11 and throwing away property which, in the good faith judgement of Lessor or such officer is an imminent danger or health hazard under paragraph 3.
