Storage Rental Agreement: Fill & Download for Free

Well, places change hands. It happens. You need to determine if your old rental agreement stays in place or if it is over. If it is over, you have two choices. Move your stuff or sign the new rental agreement. It is extremely unlikely that the place will be willing to negotiate new terms with you, though you could try that too.If your rental agreement isn't over, then you could see if you can possibly enforce the old agreement, until it ends. At that point, you will either need to move your stuff or sign a new rental agreement. Whether your old agreement will be honored for any time period left (if you aren't month to month) really depends on what the old agreement stated and what legal protections you have as far as storage facilities in your state.From your comments on David Jensen's answer, it doesn't like the terms are very favorable. It might well be time to find a new storage place. Assuming there are any around with more favorable terms.

You have a few options here as others have suggested. But it works if your name, and ONLY your name is listed on the storage unit rental agreement.1)talk to the family and figure out why they won't give you the keys. Figure out if it's worth changing the family dynamic.2) stop paying and let the contents go to auction3) you cut off the locks, remove your stuff (consolidate into one of the three or get new one) and stop paying on original units and still let it go to auction4) cut the locks, remove your stuff and hand them the keys to the new locks as well as the bill indicating the prices of the units and when it's due and when things will go to auction when it's not paid.I do find it awfully strange they won't grant you access to these units so either there is something shocking or you are someone they don't trust. However those are really the only options I see you have. Especially if your name and ONLY your name is on the storage rental agreement.

I managed to beat a sleazeball lawyer once.I sold the contents of a storage unit that was many years past due at auction. Actually, sold several dozen units, but I came into this job and immediately realized they needed a “new sheriff in town” so I started laying groundwork for the auction. Went mostly smoothly, except the cleanup of some units has been delayed.Anyway, this unit belonged to Mr. Big. Name changed obviously. Mr. Big took us to arbitration claiming we had no legal right to auction his unit. I brought with me the following:A printout of Chapter 415 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri, which governs self-storage facilities.The returned envelopes from the 2 certified letters I had mailed, with receipts from the post office showing I had abided by the timeline set by Chapter 415.An affidavit from the predominant local newspaper including my auction notice, and the date it had run, again in keeping with Chapter 415's timeline.His original signed rental agreement which granted us the right to “dispose of any belongings in unpaid units.” I noted it was non-specific as to how.His accounts ledger and the receipt from the auctioneer showing we made less than the past due balance.Once I got to speak it lasted 15 minutes. The lawyer looked very annoyed. I find myself wondering why he took the case at all. Ah, the power of recordkeeping.
