Storing Smarter Every Day

I have always been the kind of person who loves organization, which is why inheriting a bunch of items from a long lost aunt was really difficult for me. I realized that I couldn't part with things, but I knew that I had to store things in a smart way if I wanted to have enough room. I started going through things, nesting boxes, and working on a viable solution, and before I knew it, things were really coming together. I wanted to start a blog for people who need help storing things, so that you can get the advice you need.

When you are renting a home rather than buying one

Answered Questions About Storage Unit Rentals

When you are renting a home rather than buying one, there is usually a lease that expires after a specific period. If a renter is unable to renew the lease, they must pack up and move out of the house so the owner can lease it to a new tenant. Unfortunately, sometimes it isn't possible to find another home soon after a lease expires to move their belongings into. Fortunately, if you are in such a situation, it is possible to rent a storage unit to store your belongings until you can find a new home to rent or buy. This article covers a few of the important things you might want to know about renting a storage unit.

Can a Storage Unit Be Rented on a Long-Term Basis?

The allowed duration for which a storage unit can be rented depends on the facility at which it is located. However, many storage facilities offer contracts on a weekly or monthly basis to accommodate the needs of their customers. If you do not know how long you will need to rent a storage unit, it is wise to rent one on a monthly basis. The reason is that you will not have to rush to move your belongings out of the unit before you find a house. If you rent a storage unit on a weekly basis, it may or may not be possible to renew the contract if you need to do so.

Is Anything Prohibited from Being Stored in a Unit?

It is likely that no matter where you decide to rent a storage unit, there will be rules in regards to what you can place inside the unit. The reason certain items are prohibited inside storage units is for safety purposes. For example, it is usually against the rules to place anything that can explode in a storage unit, such as gas and ammunition. Perishables are not usually allowed in storage units as well because they can lead to mold growth and release a foul odor. You will be informed about the prohibited items when you sign a contract to rent a unit.

Is it Easy for Criminals to Break into a Storage Unit?

It is common for most storage facilities to have security measures in place against criminals. For example, if you choose a gated facility, criminals will have to know the code to the gate before entering the property. You will have the ability to put a padlock on your storage unit, too, but some facilities already have locks on the doors for customers to use.
