Self Storage Contract 

A Self Storage Contract is just the written storage lease agreement between a self storage renter and a self storage facility agreeing to rent or lease a self storage space.  Self storage contracts clarify the "rental agreement" and protect the storage renter and self storage provider in the event of a misunderstanding. A self storage contract is required by just about every self storage location before you can rent or lease self storages. 

Self storage contracts protects your rights and your personal or business storage good when you decide to rent storage space.  Most self storage contracts are straightforward and standard but remember that the self storage facility also has to protect themselves too.  A self storage agreement spells out the conditions of your storage rental such as late payment fees & conditions, abandoned property and or collections of the contract monies if you decide not to pay.  Self storage contracts clearly states the authority of the storage renter and that of the storage location which may include being able to access your storage space and holding or selling your items in the event that you do not make the agreed apon payments.  Be sure to read the portion of the self storage agreement that relates to default on payments or what rights the storage management has in the case of an emergency.  Check to see if the storage agreement allow the self storage facility to move your stuff from one storage unit to another at their "sole" discretion.  This may be fine in an emergency but not acceptable just to offer your prime storage unit to another customer.  

Some self storage facilities may offer free use of certain equipment or vehicles such as storage truck or moving van if you sign a self storage lease with them.  Make sure free means free.  A self storage facility may put conditions on the time length and mileage of these free vehicles (truck, van).  If you exceed these conditions, you might incurr excess charges that may be a surprise to you if you are not fully aware of the self storage lease terms.  Most will usually require you to pay a depsoit but it is refundable if you satisfy the conditons of the self storage agreement. 

A self storage contract may have a revision in it that requires you to carry self storage insurance to cover your household or commercial storage items.  Check for clauses in the self storage contract that states that not having storage insurance may reduce your rights if unforseen accidents occur.  Many self storage location may offer insurance from their in house insurance policy or may even refer you to one of their storage insurance partners. Be sure to check the storage insurance rate that they offer to ensure that they are competitive and suit your storage rental needs.  

Self storage locations offer many flexible terms when it comes to renting self storage space.  Self storage terms generally can range anywhere from daily, monthly or even yearly.  Normally you can get better discounts or special offers if you choose to rent for longer periods of time.  Most self storage websites have coupons or special discount offers available for your convienance. 

Reputable self storage companies will almost always require a deposit before you lease self storage space.  Your deposit should be refundable when you have finished our self storage agreement but you should check the conditions of deposit before you rent space.  Most self storage locations just required that you leave your self storage space clean, empty and in good condition.  If you pay regular rental and insurance charges, check to see if you get a credit refund for any unuse portion of the fees.  Be sure to give proper notice when you decide to terminate or end the self storage contract to ensure that you receive any and all refunds or deposit's that you are entitled to.
