Updating definitions and requirements for rental agreements of self-storage facilities

SB 721 updates West Virginia's rules for self-storage rental agreements. It clarifies key terms like "occupant," "personal property," and "rental agreement," and requires operators to include specific notices about liens and property removal in all agreements. The bill sets a 30-day default period (instead of 60 days) before operators can remove or sell stored items for unpaid fees, mandates notice via newspaper, email, or online, and states that unsigned agreements bind renters if they use the space for over 30 days after receiving the agreement. These changes directly affect self-storage facility operators and renters using storage units in West Virginia.
