AI Summary
- Revises the definition of "last known address" to mean the street or P.O. box address in the latest rental agreement, or a subsequent written change-of-address notice delivered by hand, first-class mail, or e-mail, subject to rental agreement requirements.
- Requires owners to notify both the tenant and any designated alternate contact when enforcing a lien, and mandates that if e-mail notice of a pending sale receives no response or delivery confirmation, the owner must follow up with first-class mail before proceeding.
- Removes the prior requirement that lien enforcement notices be conspicuously posted at the facility or on the storage unit.
- Rental agreements entered into on or after September 1, 2025, must include a provision informing tenants of their option to designate an alternate contact to receive notices under the Florida Self-storage Facility Act, with space in the agreement for that designation; a tenant's failure to designate an alternate contact does not affect any party's rights or remedies.
- Takes effect October 1, 2025.
