I'm completely new to the term property lien. I've heard it around this subreddit many times though so I'm hoping someone can tell me if it is an option in this situation.

I own a small trucking company in Los Angeles that hauls containers to and from the ports of LA/LB. Recently a major shipping company filed for bankruptcy and almost all of their containers are being rejected by the ports. Nobody wants the containers back at this time.

I've had multiple containers that are either owned by them or leased to them stored at my facility for nearly a month now and I am being billed daily for using the chassis they are on.If I leave a container at their facility longer than they want I get charged upwards of $100/day. I usually charge my customers $100 a day for storage if they request it so can I turn around and bill this directly to the company that owns the container instead of my customer?

A driver of mine suggested I put a lien on the containers I have to force the company to pay the charges I am accruing and if they fail to do so he said I would end up owning the container which would be nice but I see it as highly unlikely to happen.

My current bills for these containers is nearing $2,000 (just in chassis) which I have to pay to the chassis company to continue using their equipment. I'm not sure if the company that owns the container will be charging me per diem (about $100 or more per day until returned) but I probably won't pay that because I showed good will by trying to return them multiple times but was rejected.
