2. Section 578A.6, Code 2025, is amended to read as follows: 578A.6 Right Rental agreement —— right to deny access due to default.
1. A rental agreement may be a written or oral agreement.

2. If the occupant is in default for a reason other than nonpayment of rent, or if the operator does not renew the occupant’s rental agreement, the operator shall have deliver to the occupant a written notice or an electronic mail notice, if consented to by the parties in accordance with section 578A.5, subsection 5, to remove personal property from the leased space within fifteen days. During the fifteen-day period, the operator has the right to place reasonable restrictions on the occupant’s use of the leased space, including the right to deny or limit the occupant occupant’s access to the leased space to the hours which the office is open at the self-service storage facility if such right is set forth in the rental agreement.

3. 4. Any personal property remaining is subject to lien as provided in section 578A.5 and in accordance with section 578A.7.
