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 stipulates that if an occupant does not sign a delivered rental agreement, 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 states that an occupant may not use the storage facility after receiving written notice of termination, which must provide at least 15 days for the occupant to remove their property. The owner is permitted 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 use of storage spaces.
