How do you handle a storage unit transfer from one tenant to a new tenant?

There could be a number of reasons for it, but the most important thing is for you to make sure everything is above the table and protect yourself from legal harm. We've got a template to make your life easier with our Unit Transfer Sheet!

Unit Transfer Sheet

What do you do when a tenant asks to transfer the rights to a storage unit to another person?

There are a whole host of reasons why this might happen. Some of the more common occurrences include:

  • Divorce or break-up of a couple that currently uses a storage unit jointly
  • Friends or family using the storage unit jointly, but the tenant on record is moving/no longer needs access
  • A parent or guardian is transferring ownership to a newly-of-legal-age child
  • The storage unit is used by a business and the tenant on record is leaving the business

The reasons go on, but they all have one thing in common: the storage unit is currently in one person's name, and they would like to transfer it to another person.

There are a number of ways you could go about this. Some operators simply process this as a move out of the existing tenant and then a move-in of the new tenant, for example.

However, this might not work for everyone, or it may be too clunky of a process that doesn't properly reflect what happened on your records. After all, presumably, the items in the storage unit are remaining within, and that is outside of the normal scheduled move-out/move-in procedures.

Thankfully, we've got just what you need to get started with our Unit Transfer Sheet, part of our Operator Toolkit!
