When To Consider Short-Term Storage Rentals

By Joyce McIntosh


Storage companies are an excellent resource and available in just about every town and city. There are a variety of situations which make renting a storage unit a great idea. Read on and you'll discover why it's a good idea to consider self storage as well as some tips for choosing the perfect storage unit.

If you are lucky, you will be able to move out of your old place and into your new home on the same day. However, if these dates are off by several weeks or perhaps even a month or more, you will need to store your furnishings and other belongings. Self storage units can be a great solution to this problem and almost always cost far less than the rates moving companies would charge for storage. In addition, if you need something from storage, you can actually get it out of self storage while a moving company doesn't afford you access to your belongings.

The best time to make any changes in your home is prior to moving in, so if you wish to upgrade your home and make some major renovations, consider the option of self storage. It is much easier to redesign and redecorate when you don't have to worry about where to store your belongings. Self storage keeps your belongings safe and away from all the mess of renovation. Even if you are not moving, but still renovating, self storage is a wise consideration.

College students also can take advantage of mini storage units during their summer break. Most colleges require that you remove all of your items from your dorm during the summer months. Rather than dragging home all of your belongings, you can store most of them for a very low cost. Be sure to look for a mini storage facility that offers student discounts.

When you are looking for a quality self-storage company, be sure to select a facility that meets all of your needs. For a short-term rental, you need to find a company that offers month-to-month leasing and perhaps even weekly lease options.

In addition to the length of your rental term, there are other considerations. For instance, security is something you should take seriously, so don't select a company that doesn't have on-premise security monitoring. In addition, bypass facilities that are poorly lit and not fenced completely. It is also a great idea to find a facility that allows 24/7 access, which allows you much greater flexibility.
