Walk It Through: The Storage Unit Sale
More than 60 days in default, a demand of at least 14 days, and 10 days' notice before the sale.
A renter signing up for a storage unit reads through the rental agreement.
Two things a person in this spot might do. Picking one shows what the law says about it.
One unit and one occupant. Denial of access during a default, a value limit in the agreement, vehicles and boats, and an unclaimed balance are not worked through here.
A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
