Imagine you are the senior manager at ABC123 storage units, and you've been the SRMGR for five
Question:
Imagine you are the senior manager at ABC123 storage units, and you've been the SRMGR for five years. Before COVID-19, you and your staff would meet unit renters in person at the facility office to sign storage unit rental lease agreements. However, the policies were changed during COVID19 and now all unit lease agreements are done virtually. Each renter is provided with their unit number and unique gate code virtually. Over the last two months, you and an employee have seen multiple vehicles arriving and departing late in the evening. They seem to all be going to unit #C. They drive in, open their unit, unload duffel bags, and leave swiftly. On top of that, you and your employee have smelled something similar to fuel or chemicals near unit #C. Your employee (Jon) made in-person contact with one of the unit's visitors as they were leaving to discuss the smell at unit #C. The visitor, who was wearing a face mask said it must simply be the smell of exhaust from his vehicle. In all the unit rental agreements, it explicitly prohibits all toxic materials, fuels, explosives, etc.
