58-814. Definitions. In the self-service storage act the following words shall mean the following:

(a) "Self-service storage facility" means any real property used for renting or leasing individual storage spaces in which the occupants themselves customarily store and remove their own personal property on a self-service basis.

(b) "Rental agreement" means any written statement that establishes or modifies the terms, conditions or rules concerning the use and occupancy of a self-service storage facility.

(c) "Leased space" means the individual storage space at the self-service facility which is rented to an occupant pursuant to a rental agreement.

(d) "Occupant" means a person, a sublessee, successor or assign, entitled to the use of a leased space at a self-service storage facility under a rental agreement.

(e) "Operator" means the owner, operator, lessor or sublessor of a self-service storage facility, an agent or any other person authorized to manage the facility, except that "operator" does not mean a warehouseman, unless the operator issues a warehouse receipt, bill of lading, or other document of title for the personal property stored.

(f) "Personal property" means movable property, not affixed to land, and "personal property" includes, but is not limited to, goods, wares, merchandise, motor vehicles, watercraft, household items and furnishings.

(g) "Default" means the failure to perform on time any obligation or duty set forth in the rental agreement.

(h) "Last known address" means that address provided by the occupant in the rental agreement or the address provided by the occupant in a subsequent written notice of a change of address.

(i) "Late fee" means a fee or charge assessed by an operator for an occupant's failure to pay rent when due. A late fee is not interest on a debt, nor is a late fee a reasonable expense that the operator may incur in the course of collecting unpaid rent in enforcing the operator's lien right pursuant to K.S.A. 58-814, et seq., and amendments thereto, or enforcing any other remedy provided by statute or contract.
