419 Storage Co. Rental Terms & Conditions

STORAGE RENTAL AGREEMENT
This storage unit lease agreement (the “Agreement”) has been entered into on October 4, 2024 by and between the parties of 419 Ventures LLC (“Lessor”) and (“Lessee”) hereinafter collectively referred to as “the Parties”. The Parties are in agreement of the following:

Section 1.   Rented Unit
Lessor hereby grants Lessee use of the following storage unit, pursuant to the terms of this storage rental agreement:

Facility Name: 419 Storage Co.
Facility Address: 592 Jeff Hartings Way, St. Henry, Ohio 45883
Unit Number:TBD
Unit Description:TBD

Section 2.   Terms and Conditions
The Lessor agrees to lease the storage unit on a recurring month-to-month basis beginning on October 4, 2024 or as approved by Lessor until the Initial Term has been exhausted or the Agreement terminated or revised. This Agreement shall remain in full effect until terminated by either party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Section 3.   Rent
Lessee shall pay rent monthly in the amount stated which includes Ohio sales tax for the advance rental of the unit (the “Monthly Rent Amount”). Monthly rental payments shall be due on the 15th day of each month. Payment can be done through credit card or mailed check. The Monthly Rent Amount is subject to annual inflation adjustments on or before April 1 of each calendar year as determined and issued by the Lessor. If Lessee’s rental obligation is late, Lessor may, at Lessor’s discretion deny Lessee access to Lessee’s personal property pursuant to Ohio Revised Code Section 5322.03(C)(4).

Section 4.   Late Fee
If Lessee fails to pay rent within twelve (12) days of the payment’s due date, rent shall be considered late, and Lessor reserves the right to accept or refuse the late rent payment. Acceptance of late rent shall not be construed as a waiver by Lessor of Lessee’s contractual duty to timely pay rent. If Lessor accepts the late rent payment, then Lessee shall pay a late fee of 0.15 * Monthly Rent Amount per day until all rent payments and late fees are paid in full. For example, if the Monthly Rent Amount is $120.00, then the applicable late fee would be calculated as 0.15 * $120.00 = $18.00 per day.

Section 5.   Returned Checks
In the event of a returned check, the Lessee shall pay a $150.00 return check fee.

Section 6.   Security Deposit
Lessee shall pay a security deposit equal to the Monthly Rent Amount due upon execution of this Agreement. The security deposit is made to secure Lessee’s faithful performance of all terms of this Agreement including, but not limited to, payment of rent and restoration of the unit to the same condition as existed upon execution of this Agreement, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Lessee forfeits the security deposit if Lessee vacates the unit without providing a sufficient termination notice as required herein this Agreement. In the event there is damage to the unit caused by Lessee, or any guest, invitee or agent of Lessee, then Lessor shall use the security deposit for repairs and restoration of the unit. The security deposit may also be applied toward payment of rent owed by Lessee. Any balance remaining shall be returned to Lessee. Lessee acknowledges that the payment of the security deposit does not release Lessee from liability for the payment of any costs or repairs which exceed the amount of the security deposit, or any other sums owed by Lessee.

Section 7.   Use of Premises
The Lessee shall use the storage unit for the storage of permitted personal property only. The storage unit shall not be used as a dwelling, as a place of business, to store live animals, to store perishable goods, to store hazardous materials, or to store/conduct illegal activities or items of any kind. Illegal activities and items are strictly prohibited on the premises at all times. Further, Lessee shall not store anything outside of the storage unit unless permitted by Lessor in writing.
