Depending on the laws in your state, can people store fireworks at your facility?

If so, I'm guessing there are restrictions (as in, types of fireworks allowed.) What are the restrictions?

I exclude explosives in any form, including fertilizer.

I believe they would be covered under "hazardous, combustible or explosive materials", so no, they can't be stored in our storage units. Which kind of leads me to wonder, just where do they keep fireworks in the off season? There's no way they completely sell out after every holiday

no explosives allowed.

if it spark or boom - no store here!

All arguments can be resolved ... with high explosives and Humor!!!

A N.Y. man was busted outside a self-storage facility on July 4th! The newspaper didn't say if he was storing fireworks at the facility.

It is specifically understood and agreed that Lessee shall not release, deposit, store, leave, compound or use any hazardous or toxic waste, substance or material which shall be deemed to include but shall not be limited to the following: items which are volatile, flammable, combustible materials, explosives, poisonous, paint, batteries, tires, explosive, asbestos, chemicals, corrosive, pollutants, items which are combustible when exposed to moister, other inherently dangerous materials or substances which are inherently dangerous to the health or safety of any person or as defined as a “hazardous substance” under the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. Section 9602 et seq., as amended, (“CERCLA”). Lessee shall not store any personal property on the Project, which would result in the violation of any law of any governmental authority and Lessee shall comply with all laws, rules, regulations, and ordinances of any and all governmental authorities concerning the Premises or the use thereof.

Nothing that can potentially explode, or cause to explode or ignite is allowed on these premises (as well as other type of hazardous materials). In fact, I won't even allow tenants to store ammunition. While most ammo tends to be stable, if there was a fire, it's duck and cover until the "shooting" ceases. How would I know if there's ammo in a unit? Normally, that wouldn't be something I'd be aware of until there was a problem. Such was the case of a delinquent tenant. When I cut his lock, there it was ammo all over the place, scattered on the floor and in boxes. With confirmation from our owner that removal was the correct thing to do, I called the tenant and told him he had until a certain time to get over here and remove it or I would. I told him I'd hold it for 24-hours, after that - calling the PD to see about disposal. Ammo isn't necessarily cheap. Not only did he arrive to collect the ammo but he make sure we were paid up and in advance. Made me wonder what else might be stored in the rear of the unit where I couldn't see. I do the same thing w/ propane tanks, gas cans, etc. If I open a delinquent unit or drive by when a tenant is on site and see restricted items...either it goes then and there or they will. So far, everyone's been most understanding when they understand the reasoning.

Just like everyone above, we have a similar huge legal jargon paragraph in the lease about what can't be in the space. I always sum it up for customers:

'You can't store anything toxic, hazardous, or illegal, no bodies living or dead, and no drug labs.'

That basically covers everything to worry about
