RENTAL AGREEMENT

Once an estimate is “accepted”, a coordinator will be in touch to explain the next steps. Bookings are not secure until a non-refundable deposit has been paid. Once the deposit has been received, a confirmation email will be sent and your booking is complete.

The Rental Amount for the storage space (“Space”) shall be calculated on a 28 day cycle commencing on the date of the contract agreement. The Rental Amount shall be paid in advance for the upcoming cycle period and shall be due on the start date of the next cycle. The Renter will receive a monthly invoice and will be charged automatically by credit card.

It should be noted that failure to make timely payments of the full Rental Amount may result in the imposition of late payment fees and/or the termination of the Rental Agreement and disposal of the Renters goods. Therefore, the Renter is strongly advised to ensure that they make the rental payments in a timely manner and notify the facility management of any change in their contact and/or payment information.

RENTER RESPONSIBILITY

To ensure that everything is properly accounted for, it is the Renter’s responsibility to disclose important information regarding the items to be stored. This includes providing photos and an accurate and comprehensive list of all items, with full details on contents. Please note that CARGO CABBIE inc. does not have an inventory tracking system, which means that any items not disclosed by the Renter will be considered invalid. Renters are to take the utmost care in providing complete information to avoid any confusion or misunderstandings.

STORAGE SPACE DEFAULT

If CARGO CABBIE Inc. has not received payment of the Rental Amount, or any other charges that may become due pursuant to this Rental Agreement, on or before the due date, then the Renter will be considered to be in default until such time as CARGO CABBIE Inc. has received payment of all outstanding Rental Amounts and/or Other Charges. When the Renter is in default, the Renter shall not be entitled access to their belongings until the Renter is no longer in default.

The Renter agrees that if they are in default for more than 60 days, CARGO CABBIE Inc. may sell the Renter’s belongings in accordance with the procedures in the Repair and Storage Lien Act (RSLA). The renter will be provided 15 days’ notice when CARGO CABBIE’s intends to sell a Renter’s belongings. 

USE OF STORAGE SPACE

The Renter hereby agrees and acknowledges that any move into or out of CARGO CABBIE Inc.’s storage facilities shall at all times be performed by CARGO CABBIE Inc.’s moving staff and or authorized personnel with the sole exception of a Renter moving into or out of the province of Ontario and with explicit advance notice and authorization to and by CARGO CABBIE Inc. management.

The Space assigned to the Renter shall be used by the Renter for storing the Renter belongings in accordance with the Renters Obligations. The Renter shall not at any time occupy the Space.

INCREASE OF RENTAL AMOUNT

The Rental Amount may be subject to periodic increases to account for factors such as inflation and increasing costs of the facility and its maintenance. In the event of a rent increase, written notice will be provided to the Renter at least 28 days prior to the effective date of the new Rental Amount.

The new Rental Amount will be determined based on market rates for similar storage units in the local area and will reflect a fair and reasonable increase in accordance with any prevailing economic conditions.

In the event of termination, the Renter agrees to vacate the rented storage unit and remove all possessions and items within the said period. All rent and fees associated with the unit must be paid in full until the move-out date. Failure to comply with these requirements will result in additional charges and fees.

The termination period begins on the date that the notice is received via email. CARGO CABBIE Inc. understands that situations change, and Renters may need to end their storage Rental Agreement earlier than anticipated. CARGO CABBIE Inc. will provide a solution that is both fair and convenient.
