Coming into the summer months, you may be planning on moving to a new location or you may be remodeling your current home. Many of our customers choose to use short-term storage for a variety of reasons, both planned and unexpected. We see short-term storage unit rentals often when the unexpected happens — your lease falls through or the home you’re moving into doesn’t close when you expected, for example. At Security Public Storage, we can help you plan for a short-term or unexpected storage unit rental — even with minimal notice.

When Short-Term Storage is Helpful

self storage As we mentioned previously, we see short-term storage unit rentals when unexpected changes happen in your moving plans. Leases fall through, sellers pull their homes off the market, closing dates get pushed back. A short-term storage unit rental helps you when you move into a new home that won’t happen immediately. You may be fully aware of the gap between moves or it may come as a surprise, but we can assist you in handling the storage unit rental when you need it.

Home renovations often prompt the use of short-term storage unit rentals for different reasons. Many homeowners have focused their efforts on home renovation during COVID-19 stay home orders. Projects you may have been putting off get put into action after spending a large amount of time at home. Unexpected home renovations also prompt the need for short-term storage including a flooded basement or fire damage in a part of your home, for example. Whether planned or unplanned, renting a storage unit while working on home renovations helps keep your belongings protected.

Many SPS locations have loading docks, drive-up storage units, and dollies and carts for easy loading and unloading to make moving into your storage unit a breeze. If you have items that need to be elevated from the ground, we suggest bringing risers, such as palates, to keep boxes off of the ground. All of our sites include individually alarmed storage units; however, you will need to provide a lock for your unit.
