The bill amends several sections of the Florida Statutes related to self-storage spaces, specifically focusing on the definitions and notice requirements for owners of self-storage units. It revises the definition of "last known address" to include the address provided by the tenant in their latest rental agreement or a subsequent written change-of-address notice. The notice requirements for owners seeking to enforce a lien on a tenant's property are updated to require notification to both the tenant and any designated alternate contact. Additionally, the bill allows for notices regarding the sale of a tenant's property to be published on public websites that conduct personal property auctions, as well as in newspapers.

Furthermore, the bill mandates that rental agreements entered into on or after September 1, 2025, must include a provision for tenants to designate an alternate contact for receiving notices required by the Florida Self-storage Facility Act. It clarifies that a tenant's failure to designate an alternate contact does not affect their rights or remedies. For agreements made before this date, owners are permitted to notify tenants of their right to designate an alternate contact. The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2025.
