This Self-Storage Rental Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made between The MoverGuy Removal & Storage Services of 10 Kerr Crescent, Montego Bay, St. James, Jamaica (the “Company”, “we”, “us”) and ________________________ (the “Customer”, “you”).
The Company operates a climate-controlled self-storage facility. The Customer wishes to rent Unit ________________________ (the “Space”) to store personal property. The parties agree as follows:
1. The Space
The Company rents to the Customer, and the Customer takes, Unit ________________________ at the Facility for the storage of lawful personal property only. The Space is rented for storage use — it may not be used as a residence, workshop, office, or place of business, and nothing may be lived in or worked in.
2. Term
This Agreement begins on ________________________ and runs month-to-month. It renews automatically for successive one-month periods until ended by either party in accordance with the Termination clause below.
3. Rent & Payment
The Rent is the monthly rate set out in this Agreement, payable monthly in advance on or before the monthly due date. The first month’s Rent is due on signing. Rent may be paid by cash, bank transfer or any method the Company accepts. The Company may change the Rent on at least thirty (30) days’ written notice.
4. Security Deposit
The Customer pays a refundable security deposit of $0. The Company may apply the deposit toward unpaid Rent, late fees, cleaning, damage, or removal/disposal costs. Any unused balance is refunded within thirty (30) days after the Customer vacates the Space, returns access, and leaves it broom-clean and empty.
5. Late Payment & Default
If Rent is not paid within 0 day(s) of the due date, a late fee applies. Continued non-payment, or breach of any term of this Agreement, places the Customer in Default. While in Default, the Company may deny the Customer access to the Space and to the Facility until all amounts owed are paid in full.
6. Use & Access
The Customer may access the Space during the Facility’s posted access hours. The Customer is responsible for securing the Space with the Customer’s own lock (or the assigned access code) and for keeping that lock/code confidential. The Customer must not store anything outside the Space or obstruct driveways, corridors or shared areas.
7. Prohibited Property
The Customer must NOT store: hazardous, toxic, flammable, explosive or environmentally harmful materials (including fuel, paint, gas cylinders and chemicals); perishable food or anything that attracts pests; living plants or animals; illegal, stolen or contraband goods; firearms, ammunition or weapons; and cash, jewellery, deeds, securities or irreplaceable items beyond any limit the Customer has separately insured.
The Customer warrants that no Stored Property is, or will be, a hazardous material as defined by any applicable environmental law, and will indemnify the Company for any clean-up, fines or losses arising from a breach of this clause.
8. Risk of Loss — No Bailment
All Stored Property is kept at the Customer’s sole risk. This Agreement is a rental of space only and does NOT create a bailment — the Company is not a warehouse, is not in possession of the Stored Property, and does not take custody or control of it. The Company is not responsible for loss of or damage to Stored Property from any cause, including theft, fire, water, pests, mould, the elements or power failure. The Customer is strongly advised to maintain the Customer’s own insurance on the Stored Property.
9. Insurance
Insurance of the Stored Property is the Customer’s responsibility. The Company does not insure, and carries no insurance on, the Customer’s Stored Property. Any insurance the Company maintains is for its own building and liability only.
10. Storage Lien — Right to Sell
The Company has a lien on all Stored Property for unpaid Rent, late fees and other charges. If the Customer remains in Default for 0 day(s) or more, the Company may, after giving the Customer written notice to the Customer’s last known address (and a reasonable opportunity to pay), enforce its lien by denying access and selling or otherwise disposing of the Stored Property to recover the amounts owed.
11. Abandoned Goods
If the Customer removes substantially all Stored Property and stops paying Rent, or leaves goods in the Space after this Agreement ends, the goods are deemed abandoned and the Company may remove, sell or dispose of them at the Customer’s expense.
12. Care of the Space
The Customer will keep the Space clean and in good order, will not make alterations, and will not affix anything to the walls, floor or ceiling. The Customer is responsible for any damage the Customer or the Customer’s guests cause to the Space or Facility.
13. Indemnity
The Customer will indemnify and hold the Company, its owners, employees and agents harmless from any claim, loss, damage, cost or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of the Customer’s use of the Space or Facility, the Stored Property, or any breach of this Agreement.
14. Termination
Either party may end this Agreement by giving at least 0 day(s)’ written notice. On termination the Customer must remove all Stored Property, return any access device or code, and leave the Space empty and broom-clean. Rent is not pro-rated for a partial month unless the Company agrees in writing.
15. Notices & Change of Details
Notices to the Customer may be delivered by hand, post, SMS, WhatsApp or email to the most recent contact details the Customer has given the Company. The Customer must promptly notify the Company of any change of name, address, phone or email. A notice is effective when sent to the last details on file.
