Re: public storage facility laws,

For a more comprehensive discussion, you should review the California Self-Service

Storage Facility Act. Once the sale occurred, your rights were cut off. The whole purpose of the law is to give the customer ample time and notice to protect their rights BEFORE the sale occurs. If you didn't protect your rights, you are out of luck.
