Moving can be exciting but also stressful, especially if you have a few weeks between your lease ending and your new place being ready. In these situations, a storage unit will make the transition period easier to manage. Here are a few reasons to use a storage facility during this time.

Why Utilize a Storage Unit During a Move?

1. Flexible Leases

Storage facilities typically offer flexible leasing options, such as month to month contracts, so you won’t be locked in for longer than you need to. You only have to pay for the time you’ll actually use the unit. You can also leave extra items in the unit after the move if you don’t have enough room for everything at your new house or apartment. For example, this can help keep seasonal items organized and out of the way until they are needed.

2. Easy Access

If you’re spending the pre-move-in period at a friend or family member’s home, you may need to occasionally access items that weren’t packed in your suitcase. Self-storage makes it easy to drive to your unit and get whatever you need, when you need it, especially since most facilities offer 24/7 site access.

3. Secure Location for Your Property

A storage unit provides a secure location where your items will be protected from theft. Most facilities have gated access and are monitored 24/7 by security cameras. You’ll also get added protection against severe weather, as storage units are designed to keep out wind and water. Climate-controlled units even allow you to control the temperature and humidity levels.

Finally, you won’t have to crowd your loved one’s home with sealed boxes, which can create hazards and inconveniences if your packed items block hallways or are arranged in stacks that could fall on someone.
