Eviction And Storage Fees

Summary

If you are facing eviction and being charged excessive storage fees, review your lease agreement for any storage fee provisions. In California, landlords are prohibited from charging excessive storage fees. You may challenge these fees in small claims court. Document all communications with your landlord and gather evidence such as receipts and written agreements. Consider consulting with a local tenants rights organization for further guidance.
