Self-Service Storage Facilities Act

The Self-Service Storage Facilities Act governs the rental of individual storage space at self-service storage facilities and sets the basic terms between the facility operator and the occupant who rents a unit. It bars the use of leased space as a residence, defines the limited circumstances in which an operator may enter a rented space, and leaves care and control of the stored property with the occupant rather than the operator. Its central mechanism is a statutory lien on stored property for unpaid rent and related charges, with provisions on the notice the operator must give, the lien's priority against competing claims, how it is enforced, when late fees and collection expenses may be recovered, and the protection afforded a good-faith purchaser of property sold to satisfy the lien.
