Storage or Clutter Notice form concern fire safety and health. Whether you’re the landlord of a residential home, duplex, or multi–unit residence, you are responsible for making sure you are doing everything to keep the premises safe and sound. In many jurisdictions, this is mandated by laws and regulations specifically for landlords and tenants. However, even in areas without or with weak laws, as a landlord you still face possible litigation and negligence accusations if you don’t address heath or safety issues occurring at your properties.
The Storage Notice form explains the dangers of clutter and items stored in common areas and unauthorized places. The wording is flexible and can be adjusted as required depending on your storage situations. In some rentals landlords allocate storage areas, while in others they may create pay-for-space places, or not allow any storage outside the tenant’s unit. This form can be edited and adjusted to whichever situation applies.
