ITEM 2: ACQUISITION OF ASSETS


Storage USA, Inc., (the "Company") has consummated the acquisition of 29
self-storage facilities through SUSA Partnership L.P.  ("OP"), a limited
partnership controlled by the Company.  The 29 facilities totaling
approximately 1,860,000 square feet are located in eleven states and were
purchased for approximately $96 million.

The Company had an approximately 5% general partnership interest in two of the
facilities (indicated with a *).  The Company managed, for a fee, the 11
facilities acquired on June 18, 1996 and the facility acquired on March 7, 1996
(indicated with a **).

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
Tennesse 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 29
facilities acquired:
