Restricts manner in which self-service storage facility owner is permitted to deny occupant access to personal property.

This bill (S 541) prohibits self-service storage facility owners in New Jersey from denying occupants access to their personal property during regularly scheduled access times, except when satisfying a lien under existing law or due to law enforcement/fire personnel orders or unavoidable events (like natural disasters). It requires owners to restore access quickly if access is denied under the second exception and forbids destroying or removing property during the denial period. Owners must also notify occupants in writing within seven days if property is destroyed or permanently inaccessible due to covered events, using verified mail or email. The law directly affects storage facility owners and their tenants by clarifying access rights and requiring specific notifications.
