         Security Capital U.S. Realty, "USRealty"), and hereby amends
         the Schedule 13D ("Schedule 13D") originally filed on March 8,

         ule 13D") filed on March 21, 1996, Amendment No. 2 ("Amendment
         No. 2 to Schedule 13D") filed on July 1, 1996, Amendment No. 3

         7 ("Amendment No. 7 to Schedule 13D") filed on April 4, 1997.
         This Amendment No. 8 relates to shares of common stock, par
         value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock"), of Storage USA, Inc., a
         Tennessee corporation ("Storage").  Capitalized terms used
         herein without definition shall have the meanings ascribed
         thereto in Schedule 13D, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to
         Schedule 13D, Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D, Amendment No. 3
         to Schedule 13D, Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D, Amendment No.
         5 to Schedule 13D, Amendment No. 6 to Schedule 13D and Amend-
         ment No. 7 to Schedule 13D.

                  On November 20, 1997, USRealty, Storage and SUSA Part-
         nership, L.P. entered into the Second Amendment to the Strate-
         gic Alliance Agreement (the "Second Strategic Alliance Amend-
         ment").  The Second Strategic Alliance Amendment, among other
         things, (i) increases to 42.5% of the outstanding shares of
         Common Stock the number of shares of Common Stock which USRe-
         alty may beneficially own during the standstill period de-
         scribed in Item 4 of this Schedule 13D as previously amended,
         (ii) extends the standstill period to June 5, 2003 (which pe-
         riod is subject to early termination in certain circumstances
         but, if not terminated early, shall be automatically extended
         for one-year increments unless USRealty gives Storage 270 days'
         notice cancelling such extensions or unless sooner terminated
         upon certain events), (iii) requires Storage to take certain
         actions to cause the ownership limitations contained in the
         charter of Storage to permit USRealty's ownership of up to
         42.5% of the outstanding Common Stock, and (iv) amends certain
         of the actions which Storage may not take without USRealty's
         consent so long as the standstill period (including extensions)
         is in effect.  

                  USRealty intends to review on a continuing basis its
         investment in Storage and may increase such investment to up to



                                       -4-<PAGE>







         42.5% of the capital stock of Storage.  Such increase in
         USRealty's investment in Storage could be accomplished by
         USRealty's acquisition of securities of Storage in the open
         market or otherwise.  The extent of any such increase would
         depend upon the price and availability of Storage's securities,
         subsequent developments affecting Storage, Storage's business
         and prospects, other investment and business opportunities
         available to USRealty, general stock market and economic condi-
         tions, tax considerations, and other factors, including the
         obtaining of any necessary regulatory approvals.  In addition,
         USRealty may decide to decrease its investment in Storage, de-
         pending upon its continuing review of such investment and vari-
         ous other factors including those mentioned above.

         request of USRealty and Buyer, the Board of Directors will
         authorize and recommend for approval (and shall not thereafter
         withdraw or modify such recommendation) by the Shareholders of
         the Company at the next annual meeting of shareholders an
         amendment to Article 12 of the Company's Charter in a form
         reasonably approved by USRealty and Buyer to change all
         references therein from 37.5% to 42.5% and to make such other
         amendments thereto as USRealty and Buyer reasonably may request
         consistent with the increase in the Special Shareholder Limit
         from 37.5% to 42.5%.  The Company will further take action
         reasonably calculated to put its shareholders and prospective
         shareholders on notice of the modifications contemplated by
         this Amendment.

              (c)  From and after the date hereof, Section 12.21 of the
         Company Charter shall apply to the Special Shareholders (as
         defined in the Company Charter) as if (a) the first sentence of
         said Section 12.21 did not contain the parenthetical clause
         "(other than a Special Shareholder)" and (b) such Section did
         not contain the parenthetical assumptions "(determined assuming
         that the Special Shareholders are Non-U.S. Persons and own a
         percentage of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the
         Corporation (by value) equal to 37.5%)" in the two places that
         they appear, and, in lieu of such assumptions, required that
         Section 12.21 be applied to the Special Shareholders by taking
         in account the Special Shareholders' actual share ownership and
         actual status under the definition of "Non-U.S. Person."  The
         preceding sentence shall not apply from and after the date on
         which the Special Shareholder notifies the Corporation in writ-
         ing that such sentence shall no longer have any force or ef-
         fect.

              Section 6.  Limitation on Corporate Actions.  Section 6.1
         of the Agreement shall be amended to insert the following
         subsection immediately after 6.1(b);

              (c)(i)  Notwithstanding the restrictions contained in
              Section 6.1(a)(B) and Section 6.1(b)(i)(C) hereof,
              the Company or the Operating Partnership shall be
              permitted (subject to the other restrictions set
              forth in this Agreement) to acquire or hold interests
              in an entity that (w) owns a Self-Storage Facility or
              Facilities in the United States, (x) is wholly-owned
              directly or indirectly by the Company, (y) is not a
              corporation and does not elect to be treated as an
              association taxable as a corporation under Treasury

              Regulation Section 301.7701-3(2)(a) and (z) will be
              disregarded as an entity separate from its owner for
              federal income tax purposes (an "Entity").  Subject
              to Section 6.1(c)(ii), Self-Storage Facilities that
              are actively managed by employees of the Operating
              Partnership or an Entity owned by the Company or the
              Operating Partnership in the manner described in the
              immediately preceding sentence shall not be included
              in determining the asset limitations of Section
              6.1(a)(B) and 6.1(b)(i)(C) hereof and shall be con-
              sidered active assets that give rise to active rental
              income for purposes of this Agreement.

              (ii)  The Company and the Operating Partnership agree
              that, if there is a change in applicable law or the
              interpretations thereof or in applicable regulations
              or administrative interpretations promulgated by the
              Internal Revenue Service or any successor agency that
              USRealty or Buyer reasonably determines would result
              in the Self-Storage Facilities held by any Entity
              referred to in the preceding subsection (i) or such
              Entity being considered to be "passive assets" of the
              Company or the Operating Partnership, as the case may
              be, or that would result in the income from such En-
              tity or facilities being characterized as "passive
              income" of the Company or the Operating Partnership,
              as the case may be, in each case under the "passive
              foreign investment company" provisions of the Inter-
              nal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, then, upon
              written request of USRealty or Buyer, the Company and
              SUSA Partnership promptly will cause the property-
              level management and staff at the Self-Storage Fa-
              cilities to become employees of the property-owning
              entity and SUSA Partnership will execute and cause
              the property-owning entity to execute and at all
              times thereafter perform and comply with an Adminis-
              trative Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit A
              to this Amendment (or in another form requested by
              USRealty or Buyer to the extent required as a result
              of any such change in law or the interpretation
              thereof).

              Section 7.  Confirmation, Representation.  (a)  All
         provisions of the Agreement not modified by this Amendment
         shall remain in full force and effect and no provision of the
         Agreement or any other document relating thereto is hereby
         waived or modified, the Company and the Operating Partnership
         having represented that they currently are in compliance with
         all such other provisions (as amended or waived).

              (b)  The Company represents and warrants to USRealty and
         Buyer that, to the best of the Company's knowledge, as of the
         date hereof and assuming that USRealty and Buyer own 42.5% of
         the outstanding Company Common Stock, the Company is a
         "domestically-controlled" REIT within the meaning of Code Sec-
         tion 897(h)(4)(B).
