I had a similar situation, where the tennant was in prison and his girlfriend had her stuff in the storage unit. I contacted the prison office and explained the problem and faxed a copy of an assignment of contract for him to put the unit in his girlfriends name. He signed it and the prison faxed it back with his signature assigning it to his girlfriend, she then signed the agreement which transfered the contract to her. She still has the unit and pays the rent.
