Self-storage units offer people a convenient place to put their seldom-used belongings for months and years on end. However, there are also many reasons to rent one for a shorter period of time. The guide below looks at when this might be practical. 

Why Rent a Short-Term Storage Unit

1. Moving

While buying a house can be an exciting change, sometimes, you have to hand over keys to your old property a few weeks before you’re allowed into the new one. In these situations, many people opt to leave their furniture in storage while staying at a hotel or with relatives.

Alternatively, you might have just made the decision to move in with a partner—meaning you won’t need two couches, two toasters, or two stereo systems. However, it can be smart to hold onto those items for a few months to make sure this new living situation is going to work out before parting with these duplicate possessions.

2. Renovations

Avoid causing costly damage to your furniture, appliances, and valuables by putting them in self-storage while you have major renovations done to your home. Clearing the rooms being worked on will also allow the workers to maneuver around better to help speed up the project.

3. Traveling

Always dreamed of taking six months off to travel the world? During this time, there’s no need to continue paying rent on an apartment you won’t be using. Therefore, many adventurers often use self-storage to house items that won’t fit into their backpacks. 

4. Seasonal Storage

Remove clutter from your home during the winter months by storing lawn furniture and other summer equipment in a storage unit. You can also store holiday lights and your thicker clothing items there during the summer.
