A Self Storage company provides excellent options for organizing and storing your personal belongings. The service allows you to place items you may not have adequate space for within your apartment. This prevents excessive clutter within your apartment or humble-sized rental property.  Most storage providers require only a small fee for the use of storage buildings, which are large enough to store several items, including furniture and other items.  Fees typically begin around $20 a month depending on the size of the unit you rent. The region where you rent this building may affect the pricing, while greater cities may have limited units, charging larger fees to compensate for the higher demand of facilities.

Some storage units are climate-controlled and offer both heating and cooling, which make it easier for you to enter the unit and rearrange or remove items as needed.  It also allows for a dust-free atmosphere for your property and additionally prevents the growth of mold and mildew.  Some items you opt to pack may require such climate control to prevent damage due to storing for long periods of time. This is essential if you are storing clothing items that are constructed of suede or delicate fabrics, which may become damaged in damp areas.

If you are unaware of which Self Storage company is best suited for your needs, you may consult your landlord or property manager. This is a great option, not only for individual storage but also the storage of previous tenants, if you own rental property. Some property managers utilize these services to remove the belongings of old tenants so that they can prepare the property for a new renter.  This service allows them to place the items in a location and to provide the former tenant the required amount of time to claim their items.  Typically, unclaimed items are placed into an auction through the storage company or auction services that utilize storage units to sell these items for the property manager.  Individuals who may want these items are required to participate in the auction or to negotiate a price through the self storage company for the purchase.
