The management may terminate said lease at his option if Tenant is not in full compliance with the terms of this Lease, subject to Management's approval. TENANT'S FAILURE TO VACATE THE PREMISES OR REMOVE THEIR LOCK ON THE LAST DAY OF THE MONTH AUTOMATICALLY RENEWS THE LEASE FOR ONE (1) MONTH.
4. Tenant agrees to give Management ten (10) days written notice of his intention to vacate his/her storage unit in order to avoid responsibility for the payment of the next month's rent. The storage unit must be vacated on or before the last day of the month for which rent has been paid and all terms and conditions of this agreement are met by the tenant.
