1. TERM: The term of this Agreement shall commence as of the date first written above and shall continue from the first day of the month immediately following on a month to month tenancy until terminated. All terms and conditions of this Agreement shall continue so long as Tenant retains possession of said space.

2. RENT: The Tenant agrees to pay the Owner, for the use of the space and improvement thereon, the monthly sum of $_______. Monthly rent is due and payable in advance at the office of the self storage facility on or day __ of each month and a like amount for each month thereafter, until the termination of this agreement. You will not be billed. If any monthly installment is not paid by __ of the month due, or if any check in payment is dishonored, Tenant shall be deemed to be in default. Default can also be the Tenant’s failure to perform any terms or conditions of this Rental Agreement or Tenant’s breach of the peace. If payment is not received by 5:00PM on the 15th day of the month it is due (rent plus late fees), Tenant’s property may be seized and is subject to foreclosure and sale. Any payments made to stop the foreclosure and sale of Tenant’s property must be paid by cash, certified funds or money order. Personal checks will not be accepted. Tenant agrees and understands that partial payments made to cure a default for nonpayment of rent will not delay or stop the sale of Tenant’s property. Partial payments do not waive or avoid the legal effect of prior notices given to Tenant. Only full payment on Tenant’s account prior to the published auction date will stop the scheduled sale of the property. Rental payments and other charges can be made by cash, corporate or personal check, bank check, certified funds, money order, Visa or Master Card. For a personal check to be accepted for payment, it must be fully printed with the check writer’s name, address and phone number.

3. FEES: Concurrently with the execution of this Rental Agreement, Tenant shall pay to Owner a nonrefundable Administration Fee in the amount of $_______. Payment is due by day __ of each month.

Therefore, if any monthly rent payment is received after five (5) days from the rental due date, Tenant shall pay to Owner an additional sum of $_______ as a late fee for each month the rent is past due, such amount being considered liquidated damages. The parties agree that this late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs the Owner will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. Said late charge is due and payable without demand from Owner. Any account Seventy (70) or more days delinquent will be assessed an additional $_______ foreclosure/Sale fee. Tenant agrees to pay a $_______ charge (plus bank charges) for each returned check. Charges not collected in month incurred will be charged against the Tenant’s deposit.
