Sue customer for not releasing the storage unit

[repostat]

Our customer in SC rented a 40' storage unit in early '04, now they are not paying the rent & claim to have pruchased the unit. We do have a letter signed by customer. How do we repossess the unit ? ? ? Also can we sue the customer for not paying the rent ? ? ?

What were the terms of the rental agreement? Usually with a storage rental you have the right to break the lock and sell the contents if they don't pay, but that would have to be in the rental agreement.

I would echo what tpajet says, and I'd also like to know what the letter says. I'm also curious how you, representing the business, do not know what remedies you have available when a customer defaults on a rental payment.
