AI Summary
This bill clarifies the rules for self-service storage facilities in Maryland, particularly concerning what happens when a rental agreement ends. It prohibits an occupant from continuing to use their storage space beyond the rental agreement's term after receiving a notice that the agreement will not be renewed. The bill mandates that the facility operator, referred to as the "operator," must give the occupant at least 30 days after the non-renewal notice is delivered, and until the end of the original rental term, to remove their belongings, known as "personal property." Furthermore, before the operator can dispose of any property left behind after this period, they must provide the occupant with at least 10 days' notice of their intent to do so, delivered in person, by email, or by verified mail, which is a mailing method that provides proof of sending.
