Photos are often used when Customers are storing boats or vehicles in their Unit; particularly older vehicles which may leak (or drip) oil or other liquids onto the floor of your Unit. Photos can also be used as evidence in instances where Customers are disputing damage that their stores goods or vehicle has done to your Unit floor, or a neighbouring Unit.
