Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 3 mixed.

Storage renters can be bound without signing

In Arkansas, written or electronic storage agreements can set or change rental terms and rules. Operators can deliver unsigned agreements to your last known address by hand, first-class mail, or email. Using the space for at least 30 days from the notice counts as signing. Notices use your rental agreement address, or your written or electronic application address if no signed agreement exists. A later written or electronic address-change notice can update that address.

Storage renters get deadlines and access limits

Arkansas storage operators must give written or electronic notice when ending or not renewing an agreement. Delivery must go to your last known address by hand, first-class mail with a mailing certificate, or email. The notice must allow at least 14 days after delivery to remove your property. After notice, you cannot access or use the facility except to remove property. Operators may set reasonable limits, including allowing removal only during office hours. After the removal period, operators may dispose of property left behind by an occupant who received notice.

Storage renters get warnings and disclosure duties

Arkansas storage agreements must explain in bold type that a lien—a legal claim against stored property—exists. The bold warning must say property can be sold or removed to satisfy the lien if you default. It must also say you must disclose anyone holding a lien on property stored or to be stored. Before selling or removing property, operators may identify lienholders through the county circuit clerk or another commercially reasonable method. This identification provision does not require either method.
