NAM

National Arbitration and Mediation (NAM)

The creation of the relationship between the tenant/unit occupant and the landlord/owner of the self-storage facilities is defined by the terms of that agreement Unfortunately, there may come a time when disputes arise among the parties. When this occurs, a well-drafted arbitration clause contained in the rental agreement can save the parties the time and expense of what otherwise could be costly and time-consuming litigation.

Recognizing that self-storage contract disputes have very specific issues to be determined and require a skilled neutral, NAM offers a nationwide panel of experienced arbitrators to assist with the resolution of these matters. With more than 2,600 neutrals throughout the United States, NAM has the capability of administrating in- person arbitration in a geographically suitable location, using a distinct set of rules and procedures for disputes relating to the rental of a self-storage unit.
