NEW: Everyday Business Forms for Self Storage Operators
by D. Carlos Kaslow, Esq. & Scott Zucker, Esq.Self storage is the rental of non-residential real estate. Each tenant is required to execute a written rental agreement that typically states that it can only be modified in writing. While a good rental agreement will work well for most customers, you will have customers and situations that require that additional forms be used in conjunction with the rental agreement. This manual provides addendums and forms to deal with business situations that frequently arise at self storage facilities. The forms provided are models that you may have to modify to conform to your rental agreement and other documents. For example, all the forms provided use the terms “Owner” and “Tenant” to refer to the contracting parties. If you use “Owner” and “Occupant”, “Landlord” and “Occupant” or “Lessor” and “Lessee” in your rental agreement, you should modify the forms accordingly.
Self Storage Collections & Lien Sale Handbook
by D. Carlos Kaslow, Esq. & Scott Zucker, Esq.No self storage operator wants to conduct lien sales but they are a necessary part of the rent collection process. Lien laws in 48 states and the District of Columbia grant to self storage facility operators the legal right to sell delinquent tenant stored property when rent is not paid. The lien laws provide, in reasonably clear language, the steps that storage operators must perform prior to conducting a lien sale. However, the state lien laws do not provide clear guidance on the nuts and bolts requirements of actually holding a distressed property lien sale or public auction. This manual provides some of the forms that every self storage operator should consider as part of the process in conducting a self storage lien sale. They can be used whether you conduct your own sales or retain an auctioneer to assist you.
