Self Storage Rental Agreement

Rent Payment

Such rent shall be paid to the Lessor on or before the first day of each month in advance and in lawful currency at such place as the Lessor may from time to time designate in writing. The first month’s rent due shall be paid in advance upon execution of this Agreement.

If any monthly payment of rent or any other amount due is more than ten days late, the renter shall pay an additional late charge of twenty dollars ($20.00). If a check is returned for “non-sufficient funds,” the renter shall pay an additional fee of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) per occurrence.

Indemnification and Insurance

The renter agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Lessor from any loss, cost, damage, or expense, including attorney fees, arising from any accident or occurrence due to the use or occupation of the unit by the renter.

The renter shall maintain insurance for the contents of the unit and personal property. The renter waives all claims of recovery against the Lessor and its agents for any loss or liability resulting from the negligence of the Lessor.

Security Agreement

The renter grants the Lessor a security interest in all stored goods. This security interest secures all debts arising from this Agreement.

Default

If rent is twenty (20) days past due, the Lessor has the right to take possession of the stored property. If rent remains unpaid for sixty (60) days, the Lessor may sell the collateral to recover outstanding debt and related expenses.
