New Eviction Storage Law

If you are a tenant and facing eviction or you have already been evicted, a new eviction storage law:

•     Requires that you be told who is storing your property;
• Givers you the right to choose where your property is stored instead of the place where your landlord has listed;
• Requires that your property be inventoried before being put in storage;
• Requires that all fees charged by an eviction storage company be filed with and approved by the Department of Public Safety;
• Gives you one-time access to remove items of primarily personal or sentimental value free of charge; and
• Provides other protections.
