In 1993, a legislative proposal was introduced that would have adversely affected the rights of self storage operators to sell tenants' goods after default. A group of far thinking individuals joined together to combat this intrusion into the self storage industry and won! Recognizing that by combining efforts, they could make a difference in their future and impact most any issue, the NJSSA was born. NJSSA's victories include the defeat of the above referenced legislation, the blocking of an attempt to require interest on self storage security deposits, and the rejection of onerous requirements for environmental testing of individual self-storage units. But most importantly, the NJSSA has gathered strength and influence.
