New Jersey S970 restricts how self-service storage facility owners can deny occupants access to their personal property.

New Jersey S970 restricts the circumstances under which a self-service storage facility owner can deny an occupant access to their personal property. Owners are prohibited from denying access during the times the occupant is entitled to access, except for satisfying a lien or due to a recommendation or order from law enforcement or other government entities. If access is denied under these exceptions, the owner must restore access as soon as practicable and cannot dispose of the property before the occupant regains access.
