Personal Property Storage Agreement
A personal property storage agreement is a contract under which one person stores their belongings at another person's private property for a set period, in exchange for an agreed fee, if any, and defined terms of access and liability. Use this when someone is keeping personal belongings at a friend's, family member's, or acquaintance's home or property (not a commercial storage facility) and both sides want clear terms on duration, fees, and responsibility for the items.

What you'll fill in
[Property Owner/Storer Name][Property Host Name][Description of Stored Items][Storage Location][Storage Fee][Start Date][End Date][Access Terms]Legal summary
Signing this agreement establishes who is responsible for the stored items, what fee (if any) applies, and how long the arrangement lasts, giving both sides a reference point if a dispute arises over access, damage, or payment. It does not create the same regulatory protections as a commercial self-storage lease, since it covers an informal arrangement between individuals.
