Finding a trustworthy storage unit is kind of like finding a trustworthy
landlord, except you only really get to deal with the storage company once or
twice when you sign up and move in. You pay your rent, visit your storage unit
when you need to get something or put something in, and that's all there is to
it. However, there are some warning signs you should keep an eye out for to
make sure your relationship with your storage company is a good one.
Know Your Storage
Unit Needs
Many people get the smallest possible unit they can get in order to save
money, and then wind up having to empty half of it to get to a box that's in
the back. Don't be that guy, unless you know you'll never need anything you're
putting inside. Since you said you wanted a managed storage unit, we're going
to focus on how you can find storage buildings as opposed to at-home storage
boxes sealed boxes.
Know Your Security
Needs
Your lock protects your individual storage unit, but you also want to
consider the security of the storage facility. You may choose an outdoor storage
unit if you want more flexible access for loading and unloading, but this does
not mean you sacrifice security. All rental facilities should have adequate
perimeter protection. Most outdoor self-storage facilities have fencing, while
brick walls may protect both outdoor and indoor storage units.
Make a Plan
Depending on how long you plan to store items, it may be important to
provide space for ventilation and access. When storing belongings for short
periods of time, it is usually okay to pack them closer together. When storing
belongings for longer periods of time, however, providing extra space for
ventilation and easy access is important. For belongings that you may need to
access regularly, consider leaving enough space in your storage unit for an
aisle. Then, be sure to arrange those belongings along the aisle for easy
access.
Know Your Storage
Unit Cost
Understand how and when your storage unit rental facility can terminate
your contract. Non-payment or late payment is one of the many reasons a rental
company can evict you, and it is important to know how your possessions will be
handled in the unlikely event you are evicted.
