Storage Rental Terms

These Storage Rental Terms ("Rental Terms") are the standard terms for a month-to-month self-storage rental between you ("Occupant") and the storage facility named in your rental agreement ("Facility" or "Owner"). They are presented during online, kiosk, and in-office rentals and are incorporated into your signed rental agreement. If your signed rental agreement conflicts with these Rental Terms, the signed agreement controls.

1. Rental; month-to-month term

The Facility rents you the storage space identified at checkout on a month-to-month basis beginning on your move-in date. The rental continues month to month until terminated as described below.

2. Rent, deposits, and fees

Rent is due monthly in advance on your due date. Your first payment may include a security deposit and prorated or promotional amounts shown at checkout. Late payments may incur late fees, and returned payments may incur returned-payment fees, in the amounts stated in your rental agreement or the Facility’s posted fee schedule, as permitted by law. Rent may be adjusted for future months with advance written notice as required by law.

3. Payment authorization

By providing a payment method you authorize the Facility to charge it for the amounts shown at checkout. If you enroll in automatic payments, you authorize recurring monthly charges of rent and applicable fees until you cancel autopay or the rental ends; you may cancel autopay at any time through the Facility, which does not relieve you of the obligation to pay rent.

4. Use of the space

The space may be used only for the storage of personal property that you own or lawfully possess. You agree NOT to store:

• hazardous, flammable, explosive, or toxic materials;
• perishable goods, animals, or plants;
• firearms, ammunition, or illegal items, or property connected with illegal activity;
• unregistered or inoperable vehicles except as expressly permitted by the Facility.

The space may not be used as a residence, workplace, or for any habitation; no one may live in a storage space. You may not alter the space or create a nuisance or safety hazard.

5. No bailment; limitation on stored value

The Facility is not a warehouse and does not take care, custody, or control of your property — you retain sole care, custody, and control of everything you store. Do not store property with a total value exceeding the limit stated in your rental agreement, and do not store irreplaceable items such as heirlooms or items of sentimental value.

6. Insurance; release of liability

THE FACILITY DOES NOT INSURE YOUR STORED PROPERTY. You store property at your own risk and are responsible for insuring it — through your homeowner’s or renter’s policy or a separate storage-insurance policy — if you want protection against loss, including from fire, water, theft, vermin, or other causes. To the extent permitted by law, the Facility and its employees are released from liability for loss or damage to stored property except where caused by their proven willful misconduct or gross negligence.

7. Default; denial of access; lien and sale

IMPORTANT: IF YOU DO NOT PAY RENT AND FEES WHEN DUE, THE FACILITY MAY DENY YOU ACCESS TO YOUR SPACE AND, AFTER THE NOTICES AND WAITING PERIODS REQUIRED BY THE SELF-STORAGE LIEN LAW OF THE STATE WHERE THE FACILITY IS LOCATED, YOUR STORED PROPERTY MAY BE SOLD OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF TO SATISFY THE LIEN.

Lien notices may be sent to the postal and email addresses you provide; keeping your contact information current is your responsibility.

8. Access, security, and video surveillance

Access codes, PINs, and credentials issued to you are personal and may not be shared. Access is permitted during the Facility’s posted access hours, which may change with notice. The Facility may temporarily restrict access for safety, maintenance, or emergencies.

NOTICE: The Facility premises may be monitored by video surveillance and electronic access logging for safety and security. Surveillance does not create any duty to monitor or guarantee the safety of persons or property.

9. Electronic records and signature consent

You consent to transact electronically: to receive your rental agreement, notices (except where the law requires another delivery method), receipts, and other records electronically at the email address you provide, and to the use of your electronic signature, which has the same effect as a handwritten signature. You may request a paper copy of your rental agreement from the Facility, and you may withdraw electronic-delivery consent prospectively by written notice, which may require closing online account features.

10. Communications consent

You agree that the Facility and its service providers may contact you by email and, if you provide a phone number, by SMS or phone call, with transactional and account-servicing messages about your rental — such as receipts, gate codes, payment reminders, and required legal notices. Message and data rates may apply. You can opt out of non-required messages at any time; opting out does not stop legally required notices.

11. Termination and move-out

Either party may terminate the rental effective at the end of a monthly period with the advance notice stated in your rental agreement (or as required by law). On move-out you must remove all property, leave the space clean and undamaged, and remove your lock. Property left behind may be handled as abandoned property under applicable law.

12. Miscellaneous

These Rental Terms are governed by the laws of the state where the Facility is located. If any provision is unenforceable, the remainder stays in effect. The signed rental agreement, these Rental Terms, and the Facility’s posted rules are the entire agreement regarding the rental.
