This Rental Agreement, (hereinafter referred to as the "Agreement"), is made and entered into as of the above set forth date (the “Rental Agreement Date”), by and between __Top Lock Self Storage - Lugoff_, the Owner, (hereinafter referred to as the "Owner") as Landlord, and the Occupant identified above, (hereinafter referred to as the "Occupant") as Tenant, whose last known address is set forth above.  For the consideration provided for in this Agreement, the Occupant agrees to rent from the Owner, and the Owner agrees to let the Occupant use and occupy the storage space listed above (hereinafter referred to as the "Space") in the self service storage facility known as __Top Lock Self Storage - Lugoff_, located in the Town of _Lugoff_  County, South Carolina (hereinafter referred to as the “Property”).  “Space” as used in this Agreement means that part of the self service storage facility described above.  Such Space shall be occupied and used only for the purposes specified in this Agreement and at all times subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, beginning on the Rental Agreement Date listed above and continuing month to month until terminated. 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.
  1.

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. THIS IS THE OCCUPANT'S NOTICE THAT OCCUPANT MAY BE DENIED ACCESS UPON DEFAULT. The Occupant's failure to perform any of its obligations under the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the Occupant's breach of the peace shall also constitute a default hereunder.  The Occupant agrees and understands that partial payments made to cure a default for non-payment of rent will not delay or stop the foreclosure and sale of Occupant's property.  The tender of partial payments shall not serve to waive or avoid the legal effect of prior notices given to Occupant.  Only full payment on the Occupant's account prior to the published auction date will stop a scheduled sale of the property.
  2. Denial of Access.  In addition to denial of access due to default as set forth above, access will be denied to any party other than the tenant who does not retain gate code and key to lock on Space or has supplied Owner with written authorization from the tenant to enter the Space. Occupant’s access to the facility may also be conditioned in any manner deemed reasonably necessary by Owner to maintain order on the premises. 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. Additionally, if Occupant is renting more than one Space at any given time, default on one rented Space shall constitute default on all rented Spaces, entitling Owner to deny access to Occupant to all rented Spaces.
