TRENTON, N.J. – Flooded by calls from Scotch Plains self-storage customers who have been denied access to their personal belongings following Hurricane Ida, Assembly Republican Leader Jon Bramnick is planning to introduce legislation to protect their property.
“Self-storage customers have a right to assess their own property to determine what is salvageable,” Bramnick (R-Union) said. “When a lawyer had to intervene to stop these facilities from trashing family heirlooms without consent, it became very evident that we need legislation to protect consumers. Some residents are moving and potentially face losing everything they own if they aren’t allowed the opportunity to access their units.”
