Hi, my partners and I have recently purchased our 1st storage facility. We have come across a problem that we are not quite sure how to handle. We have a customer who is in a storage unit without paying. I don’t mean a current customer who just stop paying. I mean someone started storing their belongings in one of our units without our knowledge and without ever paying for unit, signing a contract, or ever starting the process at all. So, my question is do we have the legal right to cut the locks off of that unit and remove the customers belongings or are there some sort of squatter laws that we are not aware of? We have contacted the customer and made them aware that we have not received any payments from them and that need to sign a contract and go through the entire signup process.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks

Jason

Hi!!! My name is Jason out of Anderson, IN. My wife and I are new to real estate investing...we are planning to purchase our 1st home via the tax sale in April. We both have full time jobs and are looking to buy and hold, so that we may eventually have a decent passive income. I was just wanting to maybe see if someone would have any tips, tricks, or things that we should know before we purchase our 1st rental property. We have and continue to do research on BiggerPockets and other real estate podcasts and websites.  We would like to thank any and all of you for any info you are willing to share.

Thanks, Jason
