The bill amends RCW 19.150.120 to establish new requirements for rental agreements for individual storage spaces in self-service storage facilities. It mandates that these agreements be in writing and include a statement requiring occupants to disclose any lienholders or secured parties with an interest in the stored property. Additionally, it specifies that an occupant's property may be subject to a lien if rent remains unpaid for 14 consecutive days. The bill also introduces provisions allowing rental agreements to be delivered and executed electronically, and it states that if an occupant does not sign a rental agreement delivered by the owner, their continued use of the storage space for at least 30 days will be considered acceptance of the agreement.

Furthermore, the bill outlines the procedures following the termination or nonrenewal of a rental agreement. It prohibits occupants from using the storage facility after receiving written notice of termination and requires that they remove their personal property within 15 days of such notice. The owner is granted the authority to impose reasonable restrictions on the occupant's access to the facility during this period and may dispose of any remaining personal property after the specified removal date. These changes aim to clarify the rights and responsibilities of both storage facility owners and occupants regarding rental agreements and the management of stored property.
