When you're in the midst of a difficult move, a storage unit can help make the process easier. It gives you a convenient stopping point for some of your belongings, which you can keep there short- or long-term. This is especially useful in the following situations.

When to Get a Storage Unit During a Move

Navigating Tight Time Frames

If your lease on your old home ends or your house sale is finalized right at the same time that your new home becomes available, you have a very short window in which to move your belongings. It's even worse if there is actually a gap between your move-out and move-in dates. A storage unit can give you a place to keep your belongings during the transfer so they aren't stuck in your old home until space opens up.

Downsizing

When moving from a large home to a smaller home, your extra possessions may not have anywhere to go. Local storage facilities give you an option to keep them for when you need them — or at least give you more time to sort through them and decide what you're keeping. Even a mini storage unit can make a noticeable difference in how much space and clutter you have in your new home.

Too Many Vehicles

Similarly, if your new home doesn't have parking for all your vehicles, a local storage company is an alternative. Their covered and secure vehicle parking options will give you peace of mind as they protect your car or recreational vehicle from damage.
