Why would the current owner feel like they're entitled to the $ and not the original party who agreed to grant the access?

Granted, Hollywood is a good area as far as rentals go, but you can find these sorts of folks buying in rougher areas too. 

-What grants and loans do you work with and have an expertise in?

I'm surprised that a short sale was granted by the lender on the 2nd position, obviously the realtor did not get their permission.Servicers are useless.

Hello, my name is Grant and I recently bought a fixer upper property in Roeland Park with the hope of remodeling it and then renting it out.

@Grant Anderson Unfortunately most STRs don't make a lot of sense as a long term rental.

Granted it was as much luck timing the market as it was skill, actually way more luck.

I have bought the older Rich Dad, and the second Set for Life and the boy Grant Cordone Sell Anything I think it was.

Do you have homeowners grants in your area that would give you a discount if it is your main residence? 

This does not fall just under your Facility policies & procedures or manager's discretion but runs afoul of the law (local & federal), is unsafe (to them, you and your staff, and especially other Self Storage tenants), and is most likely contrary to your insurance policy too.Also, please check your individual state Self Storage Association (which kind of governs each individual state's Self Storage Facilities) as I'm sure they explicitly prohibit this.Please note that there are many ways to be kind and even charitable to folks who are down on their luck, but allowing them to live in a unit is not one of them.Yes, folks living (or better yet, trying to live in their Unit) may be somewhat common, but it does not make it right and needs to be immediately shut down whenever discovered.And one last comment (shared out of love not a rebuke) is that if it's hard as an owner or manager to force these folks out - and granted, as decent human beings we should feel compassion & empathy for someone who does not have a place to live - this is perhaps one of the best reasons to have your Facility managed by a third party management company.
