4 Items You Can't Keep in a Storage Unit
Banned Items at Storage Unit Facilities
1. Guns & Ammunition
Rifles, handguns, and firearms are not allowed in storage units. In addition to posing a fire hazard, local, state and federal regulations prohibit storing the items here. Closely related, fireworks and other explosives are also banned.
2. Chemicals
Most chemicals are also prohibited from being stored in units. These include gasoline, paint, lighter fluid, and petroleum-based products. The materials pose a safety hazard because many are flammable and could cause explosions. In addition, federal and state regulations prohibit the storage of medical waste and other toxic substances that pose health hazards.
3. Food
Food attracts ants, roaches, rats, and other unwanted guests. For this reason, food items are not allowed in self-storage units. Most facilities will require renters to immediately remove the items or face penalties because they could attract pests that affect all of the other units.
4. Animals
Keeping animals in a storage unit is cruel and inhumane. Renters can also face abuse charges that could land them in jail with hefty fines. From dogs and cats to turtles, snakes, hamsters, and live fish, resist the temptation to keep animals cooped up in a self-storage unit, even if you plan to visit them daily.
