The question isn't as daft as it sounds. Giving notice of your intention to start charging a fee for storage is a good way of getting a company to come and retrieve its property from your premises. I have friends who have successfully used this tactic to get a certain well-known supplier of LPG to remove their unwanted tank from the grounds of their hotel.

The power of it though is that you give fair notice of your intention to start levying a charge, which is then enforceable in Court. The company knows this and acts swiftly to prevent the liability from arising. The chances of you successfully extracting a charge from them without first giving notice are at best extremely thin, IMO.
