SB 559 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Personal Property - As enacted, specifies that if the occupant of a self-service storage facility does not sign a written rental agreement revision and continues to use the facility for not less than 30 days from the date of receipt of the agreement, then the occupant is considered to have accepted the rental agreement revision; makes other changes related to self-service storage facilities. - Amends TCA Title 66, Chapter 31.

SB 559 (Tennessee Code Annotated Title 66, Chapter 31) changes rules for self-service storage facilities. It states that if a tenant doesn’t sign a revised rental agreement but continues using the storage unit for 30 days after receiving it, they’re considered to have accepted the new terms. The bill also requires owners to give tenants 15 days’ notice before terminating a lease, and allows owners to dispose of unclaimed property after that period. This law, effective July 1, 2025, directly affects storage facility tenants and owners by clarifying acceptance of rental changes and termination procedures.
