§41-133.
   
   A landlord shall have a lien upon that part of the property belonging
   to the tenant which has a reasonable relationship as nearly as
   practicable to the amount of the debt owed, which may be in a rental
   unit used by him at the time notice is given, for the proper charges
   owed by the tenant, and for the cost of enforcing the lien, with the
   right to possession of the property until the debt obligation is paid
   to the landlord. Provided, however, that such lien shall be secondary
   to the claim of any prior bona fide holder of a chattel mortgage or to
   the rights of a conditional seller of such property, other than the
   tenant.
   
   For purposes of this section, property shall mean any baggage or other
   property belonging to the tenant which may be in the rental unit used
   by the tenant but which shall not include all tools, musical
   instruments or books used by the tenant in any trade or profession,
   all family portraits and pictures, all wearing apparel, any type of
   prosthetic or orthopedic appliance, hearing aid, glasses, false teeth,
   glass eyes, bedding, contraceptive devices, soap, tissues, washing
   machines, vaporizers, refrigerators, food, cooking and eating
   utensils, all other appliances personally used by the tenant for the
   protection of his health, or any baby bed or any other items used for
   the personal care of babies.
