SB 3460

Abstract

Amends the Self-Service Storage Facility Act. Provides that a rental agreement may be delivered and accepted by electronic mail. Provides that if the occupant does not sign a written rental agreement that the owner has tendered to the occupant, the occupant's continued use of the storage space shall constitute an acceptance of the rental agreement with the same effect as if it had been signed by the occupant. Defines "default" as the failure to perform any obligation or duty set forth in the rental agreement or the Act. Includes a trailer in the types of property for which specified towing remedies are available. Provides that an occupant may not use a self-service storage facility after the owner has delivered a written notice of termination or non-renewal of the occupant's rental agreement. Provides that notice must be in person, by verified mail, or by electronic mail. Allows the owner to place reasonable restrictions on the occupant's use of the self-service storage facility before removal of personal property, including denying access to the self-service storage facility, except for the occupant to remove personal property during the owner's normal business hours. Provides that the owner may dispose of any personal property remaining at the self-service storage facility after the date provided in the written notice. Senate Committee Amendment No. 1 Provides that the rental agreement may be delivered and accepted by electronic mail or by any other electronic record pursuant to the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. Senate Committee Amendment No. 2 Provides that an occupant may not use a self-service storage facility after the owner has delivered written notice in person or by verified mail (rather than in person, by verified mail, or by electronic mail) of the termination or non-renewal of the occupant's rental agreement.
