CONDITIONS OF AGREEMENT
  1. Rent. The Occupant agrees to pay the Owner, as payment for the use of the Space and improvements thereon, the Monthly Rent listed above. Monthly installments are payable in advance at the Owner’s office on or before the monthly “Rent Due Date” listed above (hereinafter “Rent Due Date”), in the amount of the Monthly Rent listed above and a like amount each month hereafter, until the termination of this Agreement. The Owner acknowledges receipt of the sum set forth above showing payment through the “Rent Paid To Date” listed above. If any monthly installment is not paid by the seventh calendar day after the Rent Due Date, or if any check in payment is dishonored by the financial institution on which it is drawn, Occupant shall be deemed to be in 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 nonpayment of rent will not delay or stop foreclosure and sale of Occupant's personal property (hereinafter called “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. Owner accepts checks, money orders and credit cards. Cash is accepted for walk in payments only during business hours. DO NOT PUT CASH IN ANY MAIL SLOT OR DROP BOX. A payment made on an account advertised for public sale must be made in cash only.
  2. Default. If any monthly installment is not paid by the seventh (7th) calendar day of the month due, or if any check given in payment is dishonored by the financial institution on which it is drawn, Occupant shall be deemed to be in default. The Occupant shall also be in default if the Occupant defaults on any other term or condition of this Agreement or if Occupant breaches the peace. 
  3. Denial of Access. If rent is not paid by the seventh calendar day after the Rent Due Date, Owner may, without notice, deny the Occupant access to the Property located at the Facility. Owner may also deny Occupant access to the Space if Occupant has breached this Agreement, is damaging property of others, is disturbing the peace, or is otherwise violating criminal laws. Access will be denied to any party other than the Occupant who does not retain gate code and key to lock on Space or has not supplied Owner with written authorization from the Occupant to enter the Space. Otherwise, only a court order will be sufficient to permit access by others. Occupant’s access to the Facility may also be conditioned in any manner deemed reasonably necessary by Owner to maintain order at the Facility. Such measures may include, but are not limited to, restricting hours of operation, requiring verification of Occupant’s identity, inspecting vehicles that enter the Facility, and controlling Occupant’s access to and on the Facility due to Occupant’s conduct. 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. No bailment or higher level of liability is created if Owner over-locks the Occupant’s lock, thereby denying the Occupant access to the Space. If Owner terminates this Agreement as provided for herein, Owner has the right to deny vehicle access entry to the Facility during the termination period and control Occupant’s access on the Facility, including, but not limited to, requiring Occupant to be escorted by Owner’s agents or employees while at the Facility.
  4. Fees. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Occupant shall pay to Owner a nonrefundable New Account Administration Fee in the amount listed above. A bill for the Monthly Rent will not be sent; however, Occupant may elect to pay the additional monthly fee listed above as Invoice Fee to receive a monthly bill. Occupant acknowledges that late payment of Monthly Rent will cause Owner to incur costs not contemplated by this Agreement, the exact amount of such costs being extremely difficult to fix. Therefore, if rent is not paid by the seventh calendar day after the Rent Due Date, Occupant shall pay to Owner an additional sum as listed above as the 1st Late Fee for each month rent is past due, such amount being considered liquidated damages. Furthermore, if any monthly rent payment is received after twenty (20) days from the Rent Due Date, the 2nd Late Fee as listed above will be charged. The parties agree that these Late Fees represent a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs the Owner will incur by reason of late payment by Occupant. Owner does not waive any rights under the law for non-payment of rent. Said Late Fees are due and payable without demand from Owner. If any check or credit card is dishonored for any reason, said Late Fees shall be due and payable in addition to a return check/charge fee listed above as a Returned Check/Charge Fee. If Owner sends a lien enforcement notice to Occupant, Occupant agrees to pay the Lien Fee state above. If Occupant's Property is processed for sale at public auction, Occupant shall be responsible for a minimum public auction processing fee listed above as the Auction Sale Fee. If Occupant’s lock must be cut, Occupant shall be responsible for Lock Cut Fee listed above. Other fees charged to Occupant may be contained in Addendums to this Agreement. All service charges, administrative fees, default notice fees, late fees, court costs and attorneys’ fees together with all other fees and charges set forth in this Agreement incurred by Owner in connection with the enforcement of the Agreement shall be deemed “additional rent” payable by Occupant to Owner as provided in the Agreement.
  5. Cleaning/Maintenance Fund. Occupant further agrees to pay the sum of one month’s fees, which shall be used as a clean-up and maintenance fund, and is to be used, if required, for the repair of any damage done to the Space and to clean up the Space at the termination of the Agreement. In the event that the Space is left in good state of repair, and in broom-swept condition, then this amount shall be refunded to the Occupant. However, it is agreed to between the parties that the Owner may set off any claims it may have against the Occupant from this fund.
  6. Owner's Right to Enter. In cases where the Owner considers it necessary to enter the Space for purposes of examining the Space for violations of this Agreement or conditions in the Space, or for making repairs or alterations thereto, or to otherwise comply with this Agreement, the Occupant agrees that the Owner, or the Owner’s representative, shall have the right without notice to enter into the Space and to remove contents to another space, and continue to store such contents at the sole cost and expense of the Occupant.
Use of Space; Compliance with Law. The Space named herein shall be used by the Occupant solely for the purpose of storing any personal property belonging to the Occupant. NO OCCUPANT SHALL USE THE A SELF-SERVICE STORAGE FACILITY FOR RESIDENTIAL PURPOSES. There shall be NO HABITABLE OCCUPANCY of the Space by humans or pets of any kind for any period whatsoever and violation of these prohibitions shall be grounds for immediate termination of this Agreement. The storage of food or any perishable goods is strictly prohibited. The Occupant agrees that the Facility and the Occupant’s Property will not be used for any unlawful purposes or contrary to any law, ordinance, regulation, fire code or health code and the Occupant agrees not to commit waste, nor to create a nuisance, nor alter, nor affix signs on the Space or anywhere on the Facility, and will keep the Space and the Facility in good condition during the term of this Agreement. The Occupant agrees that the Space is not appropriate for the storage of jewels, furs, heirlooms, art works, collectibles or other irreplaceable items having special sentimental or emotional value to the Occupant and Occupant agrees not to store said items. The Occupant hereby waives any claim for sentimental or emotional value for the Occupant's Property that is stored in the Space or on the Facility. The Occupant agrees not to store any explosives or any other highly inflammable, odorous, noxious, corrosive, hazardous or pollutant goods or any other goods in the Space or elsewhere on the Facility which would cause danger or nuisance to the Space or any other portion of the Facility. If hazardous substances are stored, used, generated, or disposed of in the Space or on the Facility, or if the Space or the Facility shall become contaminated in any manner for which the Occupant is directly or indirectly responsible, the Occupant shall indemnify and hold the Owner harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, fines, judgments, penalties, costs, liabilities, or losses, and any and all sums incurred or paid for settlement of any such claims, including any attorney's fees, consultant and expert fees, resulting from or arising out of any contamination by the Occupant, whether incurred during or after the lease term. Occupant agrees not to conduct any business out of the Space and further agrees that the Space is not to be used for any type of work shop, for any type of repairs, or for any sales, renovations, decoration, painting, or other contracting. Occupant shall not store lithium batteries, or any devices which charge lithium batteries, in the Space. The Occupant will indemnify and hold the Owner harmless from and against any and all manner of claims for damages or lost Property or personal injury and costs, including attorneys’ fees arising from the Occupant's lease of the Space on the Facility or from any activity, work or thing done, permitted or suffered by the Occupant in the Space or on or about the Facility. Without limiting the foregoing, Occupant shall not (and shall not permit any person to) use the Space in any manner that would be a violation of any applicable federal, state or local law or regulation, regardless of whether such use or occupancy is lawful under any conflicting law, including without limitation any law relating to the use, sale, possession, cultivation, manufacture, distribution or marketing of any controlled substances or other contraband (whether for commercial, medical, or personal purposes), or any law relating to the medicinal use or distribution of marijuana. Violation of any provision in this paragraph shall be grounds for immediate termination of this Agreement.
  1. Condition and Alteration of Space. Occupant assumes responsibility for having examined the Space and Facility and hereby accepts it as being in good order and condition. Occupant understands that all unit sizes are approximate and enters into this Agreement without reliance on the estimated size of the Space. Should Occupant damage or depreciate the Space and/or the Facility, or make alterations or improvements without the prior consent of the Owner, or require the Owner to incur costs to clean the Space and/or the Facility upon termination, then all costs necessary to restore the Space and/or the Facility to its prior condition shall be borne by Occupant. Owner has the right to declare any such costs to repair as “rent” and non-payment of said costs to entitle Owner to deny Occupant access to the Space.
  2. Limitation of Value. Because the value of personal property may be difficult or impossible to ascertain, the Occupant agrees that in no event shall the total value of all Property stored be deemed to exceed $5,000.00 unless the Owner has given permission in writing for the Occupant to store Property exceeding such value. The Occupant agrees that the maximum value of the property stored in the Space and the maximum value for any claim or suit by the Occupant, including, but not limited to, any suit which alleges wrongful or improper foreclosure or sale of the contents of a storage unit is $5,000.00. Nothing in this section shall be deemed to create any liability on the part of the Owner to the Occupant for any loss or damage to the Occupant's Property regardless of cause.
  3. Termination. This Agreement shall continue from month-to-month until written notice of termination is provided by either party. The tenancy created by this Agreement may be terminated by either party giving the other party at least fourteen (14) days’ written notice of such termination. Owner may immediately terminate this Agreement (including denial of vehicle gate access to the Facility and denial of access to the Space) if Occupant is in breach of the Agreement or in the event that Occupant creates a nuisance or is engaged in disruptive, criminal, unlawful or other Owner-prohibited behavior that threatens the safety of other occupants and/or the preservation of the Facility. Owner may also exercise immediate termination rights (including denial of vehicle gate access to the Facility and denial of access to the Space) in the event that Occupant utilizes the Space for an unlawful or criminal purpose or is found to be engaged in illegal or criminal activity at the Facility. Owner does not prorate partial month’s rent. Upon termination of this Agreement, the Occupant shall remove all Property from the Space (unless such Property is subject to the Owner’s lien rights as referenced herein) and shall deliver possession of the Space to the Owner on the day of termination. The Occupant shall not use the Facility after the Owner has delivered written notice of the termination or nonrenewal of this Agreement. If the Occupant fails to fully remove its property from the Space and Facility within the time required, the Owner may dispose of any personal property remaining at the Facility after the date provided in the written notice of termination or nonrenewal at the expense of the Occupant. This Agreement shall automatically terminate if the Occupant abandons the Space. The Occupant shall be deemed to have abandoned the Space if the Occupant has removed the contents of the Space and/or has removed the Occupant’s locking device from the Space and is not current in all obligations hereunder. Abandonment shall allow the Owner to remove all contents of the Space for disposal. Occupant hereby waives and releases any claims or actions against Owner for disposal of Property resulting from Occupant’s abandonment. Rent prepaid for any period in which the Occupant moves out early shall not be refunded.
  4. No Bailment. THE OWNER IS NOT A WAREHOUSEMAN ENGAGED IN THE BUSINESS OF STORING GOODS FOR HIRE, AND NO BAILMENT IS CREATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. THE OWNER EXERCISES NEITHER CARE, CUSTODY, NOR CONTROL OVER THE OCCUPANT'S STORED PROPERTY. ALL PROPERTY STORED WITHIN THE SPACE OR AT THE FACILITY BY ANYONE SHALL BE STORED AT THE OCCUPANT'S SOLE
RISK. The Occupant must take whatever steps Occupant deems necessary to safeguard such Property. The Owner and the Owner's employees and agents shall not be responsible or liable for any loss of or damage to any Property stored in the Space or on the Facility resulting from or arising out of the Occupant’s use of the Space or the Facility from any cause whatsoever, including but not limited to, theft, mysterious disappearance, mold, mildew, vandalism, fire, smoke, water, flood, hurricanes, rain, tornadoes, explosions, rodents, insects, malfunction of utilities, alarm or sprinkler systems, Acts of God, or the active or passive acts or omissions or negligence of the Owner, the Owner’s agents or employees. It is agreed by the Occupant that this provision is a bargained for condition of the Agreement that was used in determining the amount of Monthly Rent to be charged and without which the Owner would not have entered into this Agreement.
  1. Insurance. THE OWNER DOES NOT PROVIDE ANY TYPE OF INSURANCE WHICH WOULD PROTECT THE OCCUPANT'S PROPERTY FROM LOSS BY FIRE, THEFT, OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF CASUALTY LOSS. IT IS THE OCCUPANT'S RESPONSIBILITY TO OBTAIN SUCH INSURANCE.
The Occupant, at the Occupant's expense, shall secure his own insurance to protect himself and his Property against all perils of whatever nature for the actual cash value of the stored Property. Insurance on the Occupant's Property is a material condition of this Agreement and is for the benefit of both Occupant and Owner. Failure to carry the required insurance is a breach of this Agreement and Occupant assumes all risk of loss to stored property that would be covered by such insurance. Occupant hereby releases Owner and Owner’s agents and employees from any and all claims for damage or loss to stored property that are caused by or result from perils that are, or would be, covered under the required insurance policy and hereby waives any and all rights of recovery against Owner and Owner’s agents and employees in connection with any damage which is or would be covered by any such insurance policy. Occupant shall make no claim whatsoever against the Owner’s insurance in the event of any loss. The Occupant agrees that its insurer may not subrogate against the Owner in the event of loss or damage of any kind or from any cause.
  1. Changes. All items of this Agreement, including but without limitation, the monthly rental rate, conditions of occupancy and other fees and charges are subject to change at the option of the Owner upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Occupant. If so changed, the Occupant may terminate this Agreement on the effective date of such change by giving the Owner ten (10) days’ prior written notice of termination after receiving notice of the change. If the Occupant does not give such notice of termination, the change shall become effective on the date stated in the Owner’s notice and shall thereafter apply to the occupancy hereunder, whether or not Occupant has agreed to the change in writing.
  2. Owner’s Lien Rights. OWNER HAS A LIEN ON ALL PERSONAL PROPERTY STORED IN OCCUPANT'S SPACE FOR RENT, FEES FOR THE LATE PAYMENT OF RENT, LABOR, OR OTHER CHARGES, PRESENT OR FUTURE, IN RELATION TO THE PERSONAL PROPERTY, AND FOR ITS PRESERVATION OR EXPENSES REASONABLY INCURRED IN ITS SALE OR OTHER DISPOSITION PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT. PERSONAL PROPERTY STORED IN OCCUPANT'S SPACE WILL BE SOLD OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IF NO PAYMENT HAS BEEN RECEIVED FOR A CONTINUOUS THIRTY-DAY PERIOD AFTER DEFAULT. IN ADDITION, UPON OCCUPANT'S DEFAULT, OWNER MAY, WITHOUT NOTICE, DENY OCCUPANT ACCESS TO THE PERSONAL PROPERTY STORED IN OCCUPANT'S SPACE UNTIL SUCH TIME AS PAYMENT IS RECEIVED.

(c) Occupant attests that the personal property in Occupant’s space(s) is free and clear of all liens and secured interests except for those liens and secured interests Occupant described herein above. Owner's lien attaches as of the date the personal property is brought to the self-service storage facility. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Rental Agreement, the exclusive care, custody, and control of any and all personal property stored in the leased space shall remain vested in Occupant. Owner does not become a bailee of Occupant's personal property by the enforcement of Owner's lien. (d) If Occupant has been in default continuously for thirty (30) days, Owner may enforce its lien, provided Owner shall comply with the following procedure:
Occupant shall be notified of Owner’s intent to enforce Owner’s lien by written notice delivered in person, by verified mail or by e-mail. Owner also shall notify other parties with superior liens or security interests as defined in this Rental Agreement.

After the expiration of the time given in Owner's notice, Owner shall publish an advertisement of the public sale to the highest bidder, once a week, for two consecutive weeks, in the legal organ for the county where the self-service storage facility is located.

(b) The public sale to the highest bidder shall take place not sooner than fifteen (15) days after the first publication. (c) Regardless of whether a sale involves the property of more than one Occupant, a single advertisement may be used to advertise the disposal of property at the sale.

Such sale shall be considered incidental to the self-storage business and no license shall be required.
  3. If no one purchases the property at the public sale and if Owner has complied with the foregoing procedures, Owner may otherwise dispose of the property and shall notify Occupant of the action taken. Any sale or disposition of the personal property shall be held at the self-storage facility or at the nearest suitable place to where the personal property is held or stored.
  4. Before any sale or other disposition of personal property pursuant to this Agreement, Occupant may pay the amount necessary to satisfy the lien and the reasonable expenses incurred, and thereby redeem the personal property and thereafter Owner shall have no liability to any person with respect to such personal property.
  5. A Purchaser in good faith of the personal property sold to satisfy Owner's lien takes the property free of any rights of persons against whom the lien was valid, despite noncompliance by Owner with the requirements of this Agreement.
  6. In the event of a sale, Owner may satisfy his or her lien from the proceeds of the sale. Owner shall hold the balance of the proceeds, if any, for Occupant or any notified secured interest holder. If not claimed within two years of the date of sale, the balance of the proceeds shall be disposed of in accordance with Article 5 of Chapter 12 of Title 44, the "Disposition of Unclaimed Property Act" and as it may be amended. In no event shall Owner's liability exceed the proceeds of the sale. If the Rental Agreement contains a limit on the value of property stored in Occupant’s storage space, the limit shall be deemed to be the maximum value of the property stored in that space. If the property upon which the lien is claimed is a motor vehicle, trailer, or watercraft and rent and other charges related to the property remain unpaid or unsatisfied for 60 days following the maturity of the obligation to pay rent, Owner may have the property towed in lieu of foreclosing on the lien. If a motor vehicle, trailer, or watercraft is towed as authorized in this section, Owner shall not be liable for the motor vehicle, trailer, or watercraft or any damages to the motor vehicle, trailer, or watercraft once the tower takes possession of the property.

  9. Assignment and Subletting. The Occupant shall not assign this Agreement or sublet the Space.
  10. Waiver/Enforceability. In the event any part of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining part of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect as though any invalid or unenforceable part or parts were not written into this Agreement. No waiver by the Owner of any provision hereof shall be deemed a waiver of any of the other provisions hereof or of any subsequent default or breach by the Occupant.
  11. Attorneys’ Fees. In the event the Owner retains the services of an attorney to recover any sums due under this Agreement for any unlawful detainer, for the breach of any covenant or conditions hereof, or in defense of any demand, claim or action brought by the Occupant, the Occupant agrees to pay to the Owner the reasonable costs, expenses, and attorney’s fees incurred in any such action.
  12. Successors in Interest. This Agreement is binding upon the parties hereto, their heirs, successors and assigns.
  13. Governing Law. This Agreement and any actions between the parties shall be governed by the laws of the State of Georgia.
  14. Waiver of Jury Trial.

  19. Occupant’s Lock. The Occupant must keep the Space locked and must provide his own lock and key which the Occupant deems sufficient to secure the Space. DOUBLE LOCKING IS PROHIBITED. If the Space is found to be double locked, Owner shall have the right to remove one of the locks at the cost of the Occupant. The Occupant assumes full responsibility for all persons who have keys and access to the Space.

Occupant agrees to pay a Lock Replacement Fee of $30.00 for a lost lock or a lock returned that is not in good, clean, working condition.  Occupant understands and agrees that the rental and use of a lock from Owner does not change the Owner’s non-bailment status. Notwithstanding the use of lock rented from the Owner, Occupant maintains the care, custody and control of its stored property, the duty to secure and protect its stored property, and the risk of loss of its stored property. Owner provides no warranty for the operation of any lock provided by Owner and/or rented by Occupant from Owner. Occupant agrees and assumes the risk of possible malfunction of any lock provided by Owner and/or rented by Occupant from Owner from mechanical failure or other causes outside the control of the Owner. As such, Occupant releases Owner from any liability arising from the failure of any lock provided by Owner and/or rented by Occupant from Owner to operate as intended.
