ITEM 5: OTHER EVENTS


Storage USA, Inc., (the "Company") has consummated the acquisition of 9
self-storage facilities through SUSA Partnership LP ("OP"), a limited
partnership controlled by the Company.  The 9 facilities totaling approximately
597,000 square feet are located in five states and were purchased for
approximately $ 33.7 million.

The Company managed, for a fee, the 1 facility acquired on August 30, 1996
(indicated below with an *).

All of the facilities were acquired with cash or units of limited partnership
interest in the Operating Partnership ("Units").  The acquisitions were funded
by cash generated from operations, the issuance of Units, and borrowings under
the Company's lines of credit with The First National Bank of Chicago and First
Tennessee Bank.  Each of the facilities acquired was used by the seller as a
self-storage facility prior to its acquisition by the Company, and the Company
intends to continue the use of all facilities for that purpose.  The Company's
management determined the contract price through arms-length negotiations,
after taking into consideration such factors as:  the age and condition of the
facility; the projected amounts of maintenance costs; anticipated capital
improvements; the facility's current revenues; comparable facilities competing
in the applicable market; market rental rates for comparable facilities; the
occupancy rate of the facility; and the estimated amount of taxes, utility
costs, personnel costs, and other anticipated expenses.

The following provides certain additional information concerning the 9
facilities acquired:

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Directors
and Shareholders of
Storage USA, Inc.

                 We have audited the accompanying Historical Summaries of
Combined Gross Revenue and Direct Operating Expenses (the "Historical
Summaries") for certain self-storage facilities (the "Acquisition Facilities")
described in Note 1 to the Historical Summaries for the year ended December 31,
1995.  These Historical Summaries are the responsibility of the management of
the Acquisition Facilities.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these Historical Summaries based on our audits.

                 We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Historical Summaries are free
of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the Historical Summaries.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and the
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the Historical Summaries. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

                 The accompanying Historical Summaries were prepared for the
purposes of complying with the Rules and Regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (for inclusion in the Form 8-K of Storage USA, Inc.) as
described in Note 1 to the Historical Summaries, and are not intended to be a
complete presentation of the Acquisition Facilities' revenues and expenses.

                 In our opinion, based on our audits, the Historical Summaries
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the combined gross
revenue and direct operating expenses described in Note 1 of the Acquisition
Facilities for the year ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

              COMBINED GROSS REVENUE AND DIRECT OPERATING EXPENSES

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The Historical Summaries of Combined Gross Revenue and Direct
Operating Expenses (the "Historical Summaries") relate to the operation of the
following 9 self-storage facilities (the "Acquisition Facilities") which have
been acquired by the Operating Partnership during the period from August 1,

</TABLE>


          * - The Company managed the facility prior to the purchase.

         The Historical Summaries have been prepared pursuant to the Rules and
Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for real estate
operations to be acquired.  The Historical Summaries are not representative of
the actual operations for the periods presented, as certain expenses which may
not be comparable to the expenses expected to be incurred by the Company in the
proposed future operations of the Acquisition Facilities have been excluded.
Expenses excluded consist of management fees, interest, depreciation and
amortization, professional fees and other indirect costs not directly related
to the future operations of the Acquisition Facilities.  Rental Income is
recognized when due from occupants.  Expenses are recognized on the accrual
basis.

2.  INTERIM PERIODS

         The unaudited interim Historical Summaries have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered
necessary for a fair presentation are of a normal recurring nature and have
been included.  Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 1996 are
not necessarily indicative of future operating results.

               PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

         The following unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Balance Sheet as
of June 30, 1996, and the unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Statements of
Operations for the six months ended June 30, 1996, and for the year ended
December 31, 1995 have been prepared to reflect the acquisition of the 9
facilities (the "Acquisition Facilities") and the adjustments described in the
accompanying notes.  The pro forma combined condensed financial information is
based on the historical financial statements of Storage USA, Inc. in the
Company's Form 10-Q for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and the pro forma
financial information in the Company's 1995 Annual Report to Shareholders and
should be read in conjunction with those financial statements and the notes
thereto.  The Pro Forma Combined Condensed Balance Sheet was prepared as if the
9 Acquisition Facilities were purchased on June 30, 1996.  The Pro Forma
Combined Condensed Statements of Operations were prepared as if the Acquisition
Facilities were purchased at the beginning of the period reflected thereon.
The combined condensed pro forma financial information is not necessarily
indicative of the financial position or results of operations which actually
would have occurred if such transactions had been consummated on the dates
described, nor does it purport to represent the Company's future financial
position or results of operations.

         The pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is
unaudited and is not necessarily indicative of the consolidated results which
would have occurred if the transactions had been consummated in the periods
presented, or on any particular date in the future, nor does it purport to
represent the financial position, results of operations or changes in cash
flows for future periods.
