Summary of the Introduced Bill

HB 397 -- Self-service Storage Facilities

Sponsor:  Skaggs

This bill authorizes operators of self-service storage
facilities to impose reasonable late fees for each month an
occupant does not pay rent when due, as long as the late fee is
specified in the rental agreement.  A reasonable late fee is
defined as the greater of $20 or 20% of the monthly rental
amount.  An operator who wishes to establish a higher late fee
has the burden of proof that the higher late fee is reasonable.
The bill also permits operators to recover all reasonable rent
collection and lien enforcement expenses from the occupant.
