SF 471 Iowa Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act concerning self-storage facilities, including acceptances and defaults of rental agreements.

SF 471 modifies regulations for self-storage facilities, affecting both operators and occupants. The bill clarifies that using a leased space for residential purposes immediately puts an occupant in default, allowing the operator to limit access. It also establishes that an occupant's failure to sign and return a written rental agreement within 30 days, after taking or retaining possession, constitutes acceptance of its terms. Furthermore, if an occupant defaults or an agreement is not renewed, operators must provide 15 days' notice to remove property, during which they can restrict access to office hours if specified in the rental agreement.
