Summary
The measure changes Iowa law so that anyone who takes possession of a storage unit and does not sign the written rental agreement within 30 days is deemed to have accepted its terms. It also makes residential use of a storage unit an immediate default, allowing operators to limit access to office hours and to begin lien procedures. These changes clarify owners' rights and streamline the process for handling defaults.
