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 must 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 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 owner's rights regarding the disposal of personal property left in the storage facility after the termination or nonrenewal of a rental agreement. It states that occupants cannot use the facility after receiving written notice of termination, which must provide at least 15 days for the occupant to remove their property. During this period, the owner may impose reasonable restrictions on the occupant's access to the facility. If the occupant fails to remove their property by the specified date, the owner is authorized to dispose of any remaining items.
