ALL SPACES ARE RENTED ON A MONTH TO MONTH BASIS.  THERE ARE NO PARTIAL OR PRO-RATED MONTHLY RENTALS EXCEPT FOR THE FIRST MONTH'S RENT.

When rent is seven calendar days past due, or if any check given in payment is dishonored, occupant is considered to be in default and the owner may deny access to the personal property located in the self-storage facility.

Such measures may include, but are not limited to, restricting hours of operation, requiring verification of occupant’s identity and inspecting vehicles that enter the premises.
