FL H0135

Rental agreements entered into on or after October 1, 2026, must include a provision allowing tenants to designate an alternate contact to receive notices required under the Self-storage Facility Act

Owners must notify both the tenant and any designated alternate contact when enforcing a lien on stored property, with notice delivered in person, by email, or by first-class mail with certificate of mailing

If email notice of a pending property sale receives no response or delivery confirmation, owners must follow up with first-class mail before proceeding with the sale

Lien sale advertisements may now be published on public websites that customarily conduct personal property auctions, in addition to newspapers of general circulation

Tenant refusal to designate an alternate contact does not affect either party's rights, and the alternate contact has no access rights to the storage space unless expressly stated in the rental agreement
