What To Do With Your Belongings When You’re In Between Homes

Moving is stressful and an experience that is unique to everyone’s individual circumstances. Whether you’re downsizing, moving out of your parent’s house, or waiting to close on a new home, keeping track of your belongings is a hassle.  

A self-storage unit helps lessen the stress of moving by providing a secure place to keep your excess belongings during a move.

How Will a Self-Storage Unit Simplify Your Moving Process?

When you rent a self-storage unit, you can trust that your belongings are secure and in a single location. There will be no need to worry about keeping track of things or their safety. Self-storage units simplify the moving process in different ways for individuals and families.

For example, if you’re waiting on a new house to close, you have a place to store your things while you’re between residences. Often times there is an overlap between when a house closes and when you’re permitted to move into your new place. This is just one of many stressors that contributes to the moving process. A self-storage unit acts as a catchall to eliminate the need for you to find a place to store all of your belongings in the meantime.

Who Can Use a Self-Storage Unit?

A similar circumstance is one in which you’re in-between jobs and moving to a new city, a self-storage unit can help you adjust to your new surroundings. Save yourself time and stress by having a self-storage unit to allow you to move into your new space at your own pace.

Individuals who move out of their parent’s homes could use self-storage units between residences. Whether it is across town or across the country, they have a place to store all their extra possessions.

When downsizing, a self-storage unit will give you the peace of mind that all of your possessions are safe and secure while you transition into your new space. The storage unit can serve as a place to house extra belongings while you take the time to decide how you want to allocate them. There is no need to stress over this when moving into a new home.  A self-storage unit is the perfect place to keep children’s toys and clothing or furniture that you want to save for the future, but don’t have space for in your new home. Depending on where you live, self-storage units are an option for downsizers who need space for lawn and garden items, too.

Newlyweds or couples moving in together use self-storage units for accumulated and shared belongings. In most cases, these couples will grow into larger homes in the future but have the need for extra space in the meantime. Self-storage units solve this problem and provide a solution to overcrowding and cluttering a home with limited space.

What Kinds of Self-Storage Units Are There?

Self-storage units have different features that will fit your specific needs. Depending on what you have to store, consider premium security and climate-controlled units.

Secure units should have 24-hour surveillance and should cater to your convenience. Your unit should always be accessible in the event you need something. A unit with premium security should have an individual alarm system, sophisticated locks, ample lighting and passcode entry.

A climate-controlled unit should have carpeting and be weatherproof. Climate-controlled units can be used for leather, wood, documents, appliances, instruments and artwork. 

Consider self-storage units with flexible leasing options. These units are meant to improve your move and some individuals and families only need them for a limited time.
