Alternate Contact Information

THIS SELF-STORAGE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is between Jon and Lisa Shrimpton (“Landlord”) and the above-referenced Occupant.

Term. The Landlord hereby leases to Occupant the Unit (as above-defined) located at 15441 State Highway 11, Brighton, Illinois, 62012. (the “Facility”) for a term of one (1) month, commencing on the date first written above and ending at 11:59 PM on the same day of the following month. The term shall automatically renew on a month-to-month basis unless terminated by either Party by giving written notice to the other Party not less than thirty (30) days before the said notice.

Rent. Occupant agrees to pay Landlord the Rent (as above-defined), on or before the first (1st) day of each month, without further notice, demand or an accounting from Landlord to Occupant during the Term. All Rent payments shall be made via check or money order and mailed to 310 McBride Street, Jerseyville, Illinois, 62052, or placed in drop box of either Jerseyville or our Brighton location, or online at [email protected]. Landlord may increase the Rent; provided, however, that such increased rent shall not apply until the month following the month on which the change occurred. Landlord shall not be required to send a monthly statement to Occupant for Rent or late charges. A late fee of $20 per month and a one (1) time $10 lock removal fee shall be charged to the Occupant if the rent is not paid on or by the fifth (5th) day of the month. Rent is considered late on the sixth (6th) and late fees will incur.

Return Payment Policy. Any check or other payment not honored by Occupant's bank or other financial institution for any reason, there shall be a charge of $35.00, which amounts shall constitute additional Storage Rent pursuant to the Agreement.

Lock Removal. If Occupant is locked out for non-payment which starts on the sixth (6th) of the month, a $20 late fee and a $10 lock removal fee along with all past due rent must be paid to have access to unit.

Prepayment of Rent. If Occupant elects to pay the Rent in advance for a period of months, Occupant acknowledges that such prepayment shall not constitute a fixed term lease, but shall simply be prepayment for a month-to-month lease that is anticipated (but not obligated) to continue for a period of months by automatic renewal. If either Landlord or Occupant terminates this Agreement prior to the prepaid rent being applied, then Landlord shall return the unused portion to Occupant, less any fees, charges, or damages owed to Landlord from Occupant pursuant to this Agreement.

Condition of Unit. Occupant acknowledges having inspected the Unit and represents that the same is fit for Occupant’s intended purpose, including the safety and security of the Unit. Occupant accepts the Unit “AS-IS” and with all faults, latent and patent. Landlord makes no representations or warranties of any kind or character, expressed or implied, with respect to the Unit, including without limitation, damage caused to property stored in the Unit by water, fire, pests, or theft. If Occupant uses shelves, racks, bins or other storage devices, then such items must be free standing and not fixed (even temporarily) to the Unit. Occupant shall make no alterations to the Unit and shall return the Unit to Landlord at the end of the Term in as good of condition as it was when rented to Occupant, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Occupant shall be liable for any damage caused to the Unit, including the cost to repair, clean-up and replacement of any area within the Unit or the Facility resulting from Occupant’s storage and use of the Unit.

Access Gate and Security Code. The Unit shall be accessible only upon the days and hours posted at the Facility. Landlord may implement reasonable measures to protect the Facility from trespassers. Any person found at the Facility (including Occupant) outside of the stated hours shall be considered a trespasser and will be reported to local law enforcement. The storage facility is secured by a gate that requires a personal access code for entry. Upon signing this agreement, you will be assigned a unique access code. This code is for your personal use only and should not be shared with others. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your access code and ensuring that it is not used by unauthorized individuals. The facility reserves the right to change your access code at any time for security purposes. Any misuse of the access code may result in termination of this agreement and revocation of facility access.

Restrictions on Use. The Unit shall be used for the storage of personal and commercial property only. All other uses are expressly prohibited. Occupant shall not use the Unit for the operation of any business, human or animal occupancy, or other unlawful purpose. No explosives, flammable materials, perishable, bio-hazardous materials or similar items shall be stored at the Unit. Landlord may inspect the Unit upon twenty-four (24) hour notice to Occupant; provided, however, that immediate access is hereby granted to Landlord for emergencies (i.e. any event jeopardizing the health, safety and/or welfare of any person, the Facility, the Unit or any other personal or commercial property stored at the Facility).

No electric, propane or battery-operated equipment or tools (including without limitation heaters, compressors, generators, etc.) shall be used at the Unit. The Unit shall not be used to perform maintenance or repairs on vehicles, ATVs or other motor-powered items. The Unit shall not be used to conduct business and no personal or public sales shall be conducted in or at the Unit or the Facility.

Security. Occupant acknowledges that Landlord does not provide security or other measures to safeguard Occupant’s property stored in the Unit. Any security devices installed by Landlord are for Landlord’s sole benefit and Landlord shall have no duty to ensure the operability or effectiveness of such measures. Landlord bears no liability for loss or damage caused to the same, including without limitation, loss due to water, fire, wind, pests, or theft. Occupant’s use of the Unit is at Occupant's sole risk and shall be solely-responsible to protect and secure the property stored in the Unit. Occupant shall hold Landlord harmless from and against any loss to property, third-party claims, injury or death caused by the use or presence of Occupant, guests, licensees or invitees at the Unit or the Facility.

Lock. Occupant shall restrict access to the Unit with a single lock (irrespective of the number of available slots for a lock). Occupant acknowledges that such lock may be destroyed and otherwise removed as provided in this Agreement. Landlord shall not be liable to Occupant for replacing any damaged lock.

Notice of Lien. Pursuant to the Illinois Self-Storage Facility Act (770 ILCS 95/1 et seq.) (the “Act”), Landlord shall have a lien upon all property (including expenses for preservation and disposition) to the fullest extent provided in the Act. Occupant acknowledges that any personal property stored in the Unit may be sold or otherwise disposed of if Occupant fails to pay the Rent (including late charges) to satisfy the lien.

Default & Remedies. If Occupant fails to pay the Rent in full within six (6) days when due, then the Landlord may “over-lock” Occupant’s lock (thereby denying Occupant’s access to the Unit) and providing notice as required by law. In the event of an “over-lock” Occupant hereby grants Landlord an irrevocable right to enter the Unit, remove Occupant’s property, consider Occupant’s tenancy of the Unit terminated, dispose of the property as provided by law, and re-rent the Unit. In addition to any late fees, Occupant shall be liable for reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord as a result of collecting the Rent or enforcing Landlord’s lien pursuant to this Agreement.

Occupant authorizes Landlord to cut and otherwise remove any lock to verify abandonment, inventory, lien and sale pursuant to the Act. If Landlord determines, in its sole discretion, that the property or any portion thereof has nominal marketable value or that the cost of auctioning or otherwise selling the property would be greater than the proceeds generated thereby, then Landlord may dispose of Occupant’s property in any manner as Landlord sees fit; provided, however, that Landlord provides Occupant of such intent to dispose of the property not less than thirty (30) days prior to disposing of Occupant’s property.

Insurance. Occupant acknowledges that Landlord does not insure any of Occupant’s property stored inside the Unit. Occupant is required to obtain insurance to protect against damage caused by fire, water, burglary, vandalism and related threats. Occupant assumes all risk of loss to property stored in the Unit.

Limitation of Liability. Landlord shall not be liable for any damage caused to Occupant or Occupant’s property. Occupant releases Landlord (including its agents, employees, and owners) from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, or causes of action arising out of the loss or damage to property arising from use of or access to the Unit and Facility, including in the course of Landlord exercising its rights under this Agreement and the Act.

No Smoking. Occupant acknowledges that the Unit and the Facility is a smoke-free environment and smoking is expressly forbidden. Smoking (inhaling, exhaling, breathing or carrying any lighted, heated or electronic cigarette) is expressly prohibited on, in or about the Unit and Facility.

Notices. All notices required or permitted under this Agreement shall be made in writing by personal delivery, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested with postage prepaid, to Occupant at the addresses provided in this Agreement. Occupant shall notify Landlord in writing of any change in mailing address and otherwise maintain current contact information with Landlord. Notices to Landlord shall be made to the mailing address for Rent. If more than one Occupant, then notice served upon one occupant shall serve as notice upon all occupants.

Release of Information. Occupant hereby authorizes the Landlord to release any information concerning Occupant and the Unit where required by law or requested by governmental authorities, including law enforcement or courts, without liability to Occupant.

Miscellaneous. Occupant may not assign this Agreement or sublet the Unit absent Landlord’s written consent. Landlord may recover from Occupant any reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) in connection with enforcing the terms of this Agreement. Occupant acknowledges having read and understood this Agreement prior to signing the same. This Agreement contains the entire understanding between Landlord and Occupant relating to the subject matter hereof and shall not be altered absent express written consent of the parties. This Agreement shall bind the heirs, legal representatives, future owners and assigns of the parties.
