Self Storage Association

The Self Storage Association is pleased to provide SSA members exclusive access to the legal hotline services of the Self Storage Legal Network (SSLN). The SSLN is available only to SSA members and is one of the best sources available for obtaining industry related legal information.

Attorneys D. Carlos Kaslow and Scott Zucker, whose combined experience in the self storage industry exceeds 50 years, operate the SSLN. Kaslow co-wrote the authoritative book on drafting self storage agreements; SSA's "Rental Agreement Handbook" and Zucker authored "Legal Topics in Self Storage." They understand the self storage business and believe there is a better way to provide you with quick access to the specialized legal information you need.

Annual subscription rates for the SSLN begin at $500 yearly for operators running up to two facilities. If you run three to five locations or operate in more than one state the annual subscription is $750. If you have ten facilities the annual subscription is $1,000 plus $75 for each facility in excess of ten.

As a SSLN member subscriber, when you or one of your authorized employees has a question concerning self storage operations, you simply call or fax SSLN your question. The SSLN is staffed from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Monday through Friday and will provide a response to your inquiries by the next business day. They will thoroughly discuss your questions and there is no limit on the number of calls or questions.

How many times have you had a question about "lien laws" or "rental agreements" or "partial payments?" Almost every decision you make regarding these self storage issues will have legal repercussions if the improper course is followed. With the SSLN, you can run your questions past an expert before making a decision. The SSLN is a legal and operations information service and does not provide subscribers with legal services.

If you would like to take advantage of this service, simply fill out the attached member subscription application and return it with payment. You may not be able to employ a legal department, but you can have unlimited access to one of the world's most recognized knowledge centers on self storage law. For more information on the SSLN, please call the SSA at (703) 575-8000.
