LD 1391 Maine House · 132nd Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act To Update The Maine Self-Service Storage Act

LD 1391 updates Maine's Self-service Storage Act to modernize procedures for self-storage facilities and their customers. The bill clarifies that a storage unit is considered abandoned if personal property remains more than 15 days after a written notice of termination or nonrenewal, allows electronic delivery of rental agreements and notices, and deems agreements accepted if customers pay rent without signing. It also permits online sales of stored items and requires notices to be sent to addresses specified in rental agreements. These changes directly affect self-storage operators and their customers by standardizing abandonment rules, digital processes, and sale methods.
