Serious question, I was at the library in Boise and saw a guy signing a lease for a storage unit right at the counter.
He didn't read any of it, just flipped to the last page. Made me wonder how many people sign things without checking the liability clause. Do you always read the whole thing first?

The part about signing at the library counter is wild. But a storage unit lease is usually a standard form, not something they make up on the spot. The real danger is with smaller companies or private landlords who might slip in weird stuff. I skim the big parts like cost and rules, but I always check the liability and early termination bits. That's where they get you.

Wait, but @cora_west5, don't the big companies sneak stuff in too?

Totally used to think the big corporate leases were safe too. Got burned by a clause about "environmental controls" that basically meant they weren't liable for any humidity damage. Now I read every single line, even the boring standard ones.
