What do you do with an old mattress in a unit that must be auctioned?

It is certainly something to think about if you are not doing your auctions online. The primary value of online auctions is flexibility.

The SSA has a robust legislative agenda planned for 2023. In conjunction with state associations, SSA intends to pursue lien law amendments in California, the District of Columbia, Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Missouri, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island, Virginia, Texas, and Wisconsin. Also, SSA intends to pursue a self storage lien law in Alaska – the last remaining state without such a law.

The Self Storage Association and affiliated state associations have had a busy year legislatively, with activity in more than half of the states.

Self storage tenants have many reasons for not paying their rent and storage operators are often sympathetic to their circumstances.

On December 17, 2014 an Illinois Circuit court judge ruled that a limitation of value provision in a container storage agreement violates public policy and was not enforceable. The judge’s ruling greatly expanded the mobile storage operator’s potential liability for damages.
