Storage occupants accept written terms after 30 days without signing

An occupant accepts the written rental terms by not signing and delivering the agreement. This applies when a potential occupant takes the space or an existing occupant keeps it after a renewal date. The operator must present the written agreement to the potential occupant. The 30 days run from the initial or renewed occupancy date.

An occupant may not use a leased space as a home; doing so puts the occupant in immediate default. This applies to occupants of leased self-storage spaces. After this default, the operator may limit access to the hours when the facility office is open and proceed under the chapter. Default begins immediately when the occupant uses the space for residential purposes.

The operator must give notice to remove personal property within 15 days. This applies to an occupant whose default is for a reason other than unpaid rent, or whose rental agreement is not renewed. This applies when an occupant defaults for a reason other than unpaid rent, or the operator does not renew the agreement. The operator may send email notice only if the parties consent as provided in the referenced law. During the 15-day period, the operator may set reasonable limits on use, including limiting access to office hours only if the agreement allows it. The 15-day removal period follows the notice.

The operator may deny access to the space for unpaid rent if the rental agreement allows it. This applies to an occupant who has not paid rent for a leased self-storage space. The rental agreement must give the operator this right.
