Your Self-Storage Tenant Has Sublet Their Unit … What Should You Do When You Find Out?

In multi-family housing, it isn’t uncommon for a renter to sublet their space to a third party. Sometimes it’s permitted under the lease, but it’s often done in secret. In the self-storage industry, the practice of subletting is generally forbidden for a whole host of reasons, namely risk to the business owner. In this industry, to avoid liability, it’s important that the space is being used by the person listed on the rental agreement.
