Without removal, the lessor may render unusable any goods employed in trade or business, and may dispose of goods on the lessee's premises (§57A-2A-527).
(3)The lessor may proceed under subsection (2) of this section without judicial process if that can be done without breach of the peace or the lessor may proceed by action.
