1. Determine if you are legally entitled to storage fees. This will depend on the laws in your state and the terms of your lease or rental agreement. In some states, you are automatically entitled to storage fees if the car is left on your property for a certain amount of time. In other states, you may need to take legal action to collect storage fees.
2. Calculate the amount of storage fees you are owed. This will depend on the length of time the car has been stored on your property and the daily or monthly storage rate you charge. Be sure to keep track of the dates the car was stored on your property and the amount of storage fees you charge each day or month.
3. Send a demand letter to the owner of the car. The demand letter should state the amount of storage fees you are owed and the date by which the payment must be made. Be sure to include your contact information and the address where the car is being stored.
4. If the owner of the car does not pay the storage fees, you may need to take legal action. This may involve filing a lawsuit in small claims court. Be sure to keep all of the documentation related to the storage fees, including the demand letter, the owner's response (if any), and the lease or rental agreement (if applicable).
