Short Term Self-Storage Needs

Short-Term Storage

Self-storage can be great for short term needs. This isn’t something you should feel locked into. If you are looking to rent for short term, be sure you inquire about the minimum rental requirement on the front end. This way you don’t get locked into a lease and get stuck paying for something you didn’t need.

Here are some pros to renting short-term:

• Duration: Generally under three months, ideal for temporary needs.
• Common Uses: Moving, home renovation, travel, or seasonal storage (e.g., holiday decorations or sports gear).
• Access Frequency: Often requires more frequent access; items should be packed with accessibility in mind.
• Cost: Usually available on a month-to-month basis, which provides flexibility for short-term commitments.
• Packing Considerations: You can get by with simpler packing for short-term storage since items won’t be stored long; basic boxes and plastic covers usually suffice.
• Unit Size: Smaller units may be sufficient, especially for temporary storage needs.
