Term
Tenant agrees to rent the requested storage unit located at Hubbardston Storage Units, 306 W. Russell St, Hubbardston, MI 48845 (the “Premises”) on a month-to-month basis beginning on the Effective Date, as defined above.

Rent

Owner reserves the right to change the monthly rental rate from that which is charged initially on the Effective Date and agrees to give Tenant 30 days advance notice, should the monthly payment amount need to be adjusted.

Maintenance and Damage

Owner is not responsible for carrying any insurance covering Tenant’s possessions. Tenant should, at his or her own expense, obtain insurance for the possessions stored at the Premises.
Tenant releases Owner from any claim of injury resulting from any casualty on the Premises. Tenant accepts full responsibility for any and all personal injuries, up to and including death, and any other damages that may occur during use of the storage space, regardless of the reason. Further, Tenant agrees that Owner, and all associated owners, agents, and employees, be held harmless for any and all injuries and damages occurring inside or outside of the Premises.
Owner assumes no liability and does not make any warranties relating to the privacy of personal or financial information while it is transmitted over the Internet or the accessibility of every portion of the Owner’s website without issue.

If Tenant initiates cancellation of this Agreement, they shall have 24 hours from their requested cancellation date to remove all property from the unit being rented. Upon vacating, Tenant must empty the unit, leave it in clean condition, and remove their lock from the door. If additional cleaning services are required of the Owner, associated costs will be at Tenant’s expense. Any property remaining in the unit after 24 hours has passed shall become the property of the Owner and may be disposed of or sold at a public sale. Tenant is responsible for all rent and other incurred charges up until the unit is fully vacated and restored to a proper condition for future rental. No refunds will be automatically applied upon cancellation or vacation of the Premises, but at Tenant’s request, a prorated refund for any remainder of funds, adjusted for the portion of the month the rental unit was in use and any additional charges, may be available at the Owner’s discretion.
If Owner cancels this Agreement due to Tenant’s failure to make a required payment within the 14-day grace period, as explained above in the stipulations for Rent, misuse of the storage unit, as outlined in the rules for Use of the Premises, or any other breach of this Agreement, Tenant will have 24 hours to vacate the unit before access is denied. Tenant must empty the unit, leave it in clean condition, and remove their lock from the door. If additional cleaning services are required of the Owner, associated costs will be at Tenant’s expense. Any property remaining after 24 hours has passed shall then become the property of the Owner and may be disposed of or sold at a public sale.
At the time of a failed or missed payment, Tenant will be notified by electronic mail of the amount due and the 14-day time period to update their account and provide successful payment to avoid the sale or other disposal of their property. The notice will be sent to the email address Tenant provided at checkout, which is stored in their customer account profile on Owner’s website. In order to preserve their right to be notified, Tenant must keep their contact information up to date in their customer account profile. Also, Tenant should supply the name and contact information of another person who can reach them if they are unreachable, and Owner will attempt to notify that person and the Tenant by text, phone, or email, one final time prior to the sale or disposal of property stored in the unit.
Up to the time of scheduled sale or other disposal of personal property, the Tenant may pay their past due rent payment(s) in full and reimburse any reasonable Owner expenses incurred to redeem their personal property. Upon receipt of the redemption amount, the Owner shall return the personal property to the Tenant. If the Tenant fails to redeem the personal property or make payment for missed rent and expenses, the Tenant shall be considered to have unjustifiably abandoned their personal property and the Owner may resume possession of the storage unit.
A Tenant who is a service member who is transferred or deployed overseas on active duty for a
period of 180 days or more may notify the owner of the transfer or deployment. The tenant shall provide written evidence of the transfer or deployment with the notice, in order to be exempt from these Termination provisions during their absence.
