Ways To Rent A Storage Area

By John Cunningham


There are many situations where you may need to rent extra storage space. Perhaps, you are moving across the country but you haven't yet found a new permanent home. Or perhaps you are having to work abroad temporarily and have relinquished your lease and you need somewhere to store your things.

When looking for a storage space to rent, be sure to check the following things first. Make sure the storage rooms are clean and dry and not vulnerable to flooding or other climate events. Choose a unit size that fits your needs. There is no need to pay for space you won't use.

Ensure that you get a good quality padlock for your unit. It is normally up to the client to use his own locks.

Sometimes, you can get discounts for signing up for a long lease, but if you are unsure how long you will need the unit it's better to rent on a monthly basis.

See if the storage facility will require a deposit, how much it will be, and what the conditions are for it's return.

The service provider of the storage device will usually require you to take out personal insurance to cover any fraud or damage that might happen. Make sure to inspect the expense of insurance when comparing storage devices. In some cases, the month-to-month storage fees are reduced, however the company offsets it with the insurance premiums.

Make sure you have unlimited access to your unit, as you never know when you might need to get your things.

It's best to pay by automatic billing, since that way you won't miss a payment and end up losing your possessions.

Finally, keep your key in a safe place. It may likewise be a good idea to provide a spare key to somebody you trust.
