This bill amends several sections of the Florida Statutes related to self-storage spaces, specifically focusing on the definitions, notice requirements, and rental agreements for self-storage units. The definition of "last known address" is revised to include the address provided by the tenant in the latest rental agreement or as specified in the rental agreement. Additionally, the notice requirements for owners of self-storage units are updated to ensure that both the tenant and any designated alternate contact receive written notice regarding lien enforcement and property sales. The bill also mandates that rental agreements entered into on or after September 1, 2025, must include a provision for tenants to designate an alternate contact for notices, while clarifying that a tenant's failure to do so does not affect their rights.

Furthermore, the bill introduces new requirements for advertising the sale or disposition of a tenant's property, allowing for advertisements to be published online or in newspapers, and specifies the necessary information to be included in such advertisements. It also reenacts a section related to liens for recovering, towing, or storing vehicles and vessels to incorporate the amendments made to the notice requirements. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
