 ITEM 2: ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

Storage USA, Inc., (the "Company") consummated during the period April 30, 1998
through September 25, 1998, the acquisition of 35 self-storage facilities (the
"Acquired Facilities") through SUSA Partnership, L.P. (the "Partnership"), a
limited partnership in which the Company is the sole general partner and owns
approximately a 91% interest as of the date of this report. The Acquired
Facilities contain approximately 2,347,000 square feet, are located in 14 states
and were purchased for approximately $180,123,000 in aggregate consideration.

The acquisition of the Acquired Facilities was funded by cash generated from
operations, borrowings under the Company's lines of credit with The First
National Bank of Chicago and First Tennessee, the issuance of $200 million
senior unsecured notes, units of limited partnership interest in the Partnership
("Units"), the assumption of mortgages and through the use of capital leases.
Each of the Acquired Facilities was used by the seller as a self-storage
facility prior to its acquisition by the Company, and the Company intends to
continue such use of all the Acquired Facilities. The Company's management
determined the contract price of each facility through arms-length negotiations,
after taking into consideration such factors as: the age and condition of the
facility; the projected amount 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 associated with the
facility. Other than changes in these factors, the Company, after reasonable
inquiry, is not aware of any material factors relating to the properties that
would cause the historical financial information provided in Item 7 not to be
necessarily indicative of future operating results for the applicable
facilities.

The following provides certain additional information concerning the Acquired
Facilities:
