Good for: Self-storage owners and managers, and anyone renting a unit, container, or space to store belongings.
Before you sign
- Self-storage owners have a lien on stored belongings under state law, and every state has its own steps for notices and sales. The state tips on the last step cover your state. Follow the state's steps exactly.
- Get a name and phone number of someone to contact besides the tenant. Many states require notices to go to more than one address.
- Keep a copy of the signed agreement and write down the date and time the tenant got the gate code or lock.
