A lock, if the facility does not supply one.

Under O.C.G.A. 10-4-217, an owner may charge a late fee under the rental agreement of no more than $20.00 per month or 20 percent of the monthly rent per month of late payment, whichever is greater. This applies to agreements entered into, extended, or renewed, and late payments occurring, on or after July 1, 2019. Justia – O.C.G.A. 10-4-217 (2025)
Under the statutory rental agreement language in O.C.G.A. 10-4-213(a), rent is payable in advance on or before the first of each month, and the occupant is in default if a monthly installment is not paid by the seventh calendar day of the month due or if a payment check is dishonored. Justia – O.C.G.A. 10-4-213 (2025 Georgia Code)

How much can a Georgia storage facility charge for a late fee?
O.C.G.A. 10-4-217 lets an owner charge a late fee set out in the rental agreement. The fee can be up to $20 per month or 20 percent of the monthly rent per month late, whichever is greater. This applies to agreements entered into, extended or renewed, and to late payments, on or after July 1, 2019. So on a $150 unit, the cap is $30 a month.
Georgia's storage statute does not require tenant insurance, but many facilities do. Storage Sense's Dahlonega page says insurance is required and can be bought there or supplied from your own policy. Local Storage USA lists tenant insurance as required, and TrueSafe accepts either its protection plan or your homeowner's or renter's policy. Ask before you sign, because it adds to the monthly cost.
