Many people hesitate to store their belongings in a self storage facility because they don’t want to sign a long-term contract or put down a deposit. However, Arctic Self Storage in Anchorage will store your belongings for as little as one month with no deposit required. You only pay for your storage unit a month at a time—and you don't even have to give advanced notice if you're vacating the unit.

Here are a few reasons to use a short-term storage unit:

• When You’re Moving: If you’re selling one home and buying another, and things don’t go exactly as planned, you may find your new home isn't ready by the time you have to vacate your current residence. You can store your belongings in an affordable self storage facility while you stay in a hotel or with friends. Once your new home is ready, you can move your belongings in at your leisure.
• When You’re Downsizing: Empty-nest parents are often shocked at how much stuff they’ve collected over the years. Even if the kids are grown and gone, you may find that some of their belongings remain. Storing their things until they can come and pick them up will keep you from having to find a place for them in your new, smaller home.
• When You’re Doing Renovations: If you’re renovating your home, you may want to move some of your belongings out for a short period of time to prevent them from being damaged by the construction work. Aunt Helen’s heirloom dining room set may be safer in a self storage unit than pushed into a corner while your house is renovated. Protect those irreplaceable items by storing them until the work is done.
• When The Kids Come Home From College: Kids bring a lot of their belongings to college, and they often acquire more items while they’re there. Rather than bringing it all into your house for the summer—only to have to pack it up again for the trip back to school in September—store it. It won’t clutter up your house, and it can stay neatly boxed up for next year.
