More detail
Owners and occupants may deliver and accept storage rental agreements electronically. This applies to rental agreements for self-service storage facilities. This provision takes effect November 1, 2026.
An occupant’s rent payment or continued use of the space counts as acceptance of the agreement, which can be enforced as if signed. This applies to an occupant who has not signed a written self-service storage rental agreement. The owner must deliver the written agreement in person, by first-class mail to the occupant’s last-known address, or by email if both parties agreed to email delivery in the agreement or an addendum. The occupant must not sign within 30 days after delivery. This provision takes effect November 1, 2026. The 30-day period starts when the owner delivers the written agreement.
