Bill > HB4711

This bill amends the Self-service Storage Facility Act to update and clarify various provisions related to storage rental agreements. The bill modifies language regarding liens on stored property, specifying that facility owners have a lien on personal property for rent and related charges, with the lien attaching when the property arrives or the rental agreement is signed. The legislation introduces new requirements for notifying tenants about potential property sales and address changes, and allows for electronic delivery and acceptance of rental agreements. The bill establishes standard late fees (up to $20 or 20% of monthly rental, whichever is greater) and provides guidelines for how tenants can be considered to have accepted a rental agreement. Additionally, the bill outlines procedures for terminating rental agreements, including requiring owners to provide at least 15 days' notice before a tenant must remove their property, and allowing owners to restrict tenant access during this period. The changes aim to provide clearer protections and expectations for both storage facility owners and tenants, modernizing the existing law by incorporating provisions for electronic communication and more precise legal language.
