The operation of a self-storage facility can be fraught with legal risk.  Recent large verdicts against facility operators for wrongful sale and disposal, along with judgments and legislation pertaining to customers’ personally identifiable information and stored goods, are reasons for real concern. Owners and managers who want to ensure they are covering their legal bases can get the critical information they need during Jeffrey Greenberger’s “Legal Learning Live” seminar.

This four-hour tutorial will cover several of the industry’s most prevalent legal challenges: lien sales, abandonment of goods and documents, protection of tenant information, and vehicle storage. Attendees will learn in detail about the lien-sale process, including the steps to follow to be prepared in the event of a sale-related lawsuit. They’ll also learn best practices for handling customers’ personally identifiable information; how to deal with situations involving abandonment to avoid exposure to litigation; and proper practices for gathering and retaining information relating to the storage of vehicles.

The seminar includes a comprehensive workbook and a series of sample forms attendees can directly reference in their self-storage operation, including a complete lien-sale checklist template, sale rules, a release for sale participants, a mutual-settlement agreement, vehicle-storage lease clauses, and forms to collect information for vehicles in storage.

Previous attendees have given this workshop glowing reviews, calling it the one class that really prepares you for the legal implications of running self-storage. If you have questions about lien sales, vehicle storage, records storage/disposal or abandonment, do not miss this unique intensive workshop!
