Session
The first U.S. Self-Service Storage Act passed in the late 1970s. Forty years on, a version of that law is in effect in 49 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico, giving operators a statutory framework that defines the owner-occupant relationship, rules out bailment, and sharply limits liability.
During this interview, you'll explore the U.S. Self Storage Association's approach to proactive legislative advocacy, examining the benefits of a statutory-based relationship over a purely contractual one. You'll learn about the SSA's methodology for tackling these issues, and how these laws help operators reduce costs, streamline operations, and limit liability. As the industry has matured, new challenges have emerged that require a hands-on defensive strategy to safeguard it.
The session explores these challenges and how the SSA has addressed them as an Association, highlighting the value of collective action against government regulation. You'll leave with a clear understanding of the current U.S. legislative and regulatory landscape, along with approaches to consider in Europe and insight into issues European operators may face as U.S. regulation makes its way across the Atlantic.
