AI Summary

This bill amends Tennessee law regarding self-service storage facilities by establishing new rules for rental agreement revisions and termination procedures. Specifically, if a storage facility owner delivers a rental agreement revision to an occupant via hand delivery, mail, or email, the occupant is considered to have accepted the revised agreement if they continue using the storage space for at least 30 days without signing the revision. The bill also outlines termination procedures, requiring owners to provide at least 15 days' written notice before an occupant must remove their personal property, and allows owners to place reasonable restrictions on the occupant's facility access during the removal period. Additionally, the rental agreement can include provisions about the owner's right to dispose of personal property remaining after the termination date. The bill will take effect on July 1, 2025, and will apply to conduct occurring on and after that date, providing clarity and structure to the interactions between storage facility owners and occupants.
