Let’s get started with your self-storage primer, all you need to know before renting a self storage unit.
What does it cost to rent storage space?
This first question, about self storage prices, is literally impossible to give a definitive answer. Prices for self storage will depend upon the city you live in. We can tell you that at Mouser Self Storage, our smallest storage unit, a 10’x10’, is very affordable. Generally speaking, you can expect prices for the smallest unit to be in the $60 range, depending upon the size of the unit (some units at some storage facilities are 5’x10’) and, as we mentioned, the city you reside in.
What can you store at storage space?
The quick answer to this question is “almost anything” can be stored in your rented storage space. The most common items are household items which are too numerous for the home and often too numerous for the garage as well. People also use storage facilities for RV self storage, for car storage, and for boat storage.
Used patio furniture stored for the winter, household belongings stored after the sale of a home, business files for small businesses with limited storage space, practically anything can be stored safely.
What you shouldn’t store?
There are, however, a few items which should never be stored at a secure self storage company. Those items include:
- Anything illegal
- Food perishables
- Animals
- Plants
- Toxins
- Explosives
- Flammables
In addition, storage units cannot serve as temporary housing due to housing unit regulations and restrictions. We also suggest, especially in the case of valuables, that you look into storage insurance. It is temporary, it is short-term, and it provides the ultimate in peace of mind.
Is there a minimum number of months you must rent for?
No, there is no minimum number of months you need to rent a storage unit . . . for most storage facilities, including Mouser Self Storage. You may rent for a month, by the month, or you can rent for an entire year. It is quite common for military personnel to store their belongings, even their vehicles, in a storage facility while they are away serving our country; it is also quite common for people to rent for one month while they are in-between permanent housing solutions. Whatever works for you works for us at Mouser Self Storage.
