I'm planning on using a portion of one of my buildings to rent as a storage area. I didn't see any boilerplate storage leases here at BiggerPockets. Are there any good places for a base lease to start with for this? (Yes, I have a lawyer who will look over it after I get something together to start with.)

Hey Xela!
Self Storage has a general guidelines across the nation (you are individually renting units and never take possession of your tenants' treasures, hence the name "Self" Storage), however each state does indeed have its own specific rules so you cannot use a boilerplate template.
Please consult your state's Self Storage Association (and/or website) and they will provide state-specific lease agreements to ensure that you are operating according to the law.
