When you pack up and prepare to move out of your current home, you may realize you have more possessions than you can bring to your new place. Your new home simply may not have enough room to hold all of your belongings.

You also may not want to stuff full every inch of closet, attic, and basement space in your new house. Instead, you may find it better to lease one or two storage units to hold your belongings during and after the move.

Needed Space

When your new home lacks enough storage space in its basement, attic, and closets, you need to find someplace else to store belongings you may not need to use right now. You have to keep items like your holiday decorations, off-season clothing, and extra household supplies stored somewhere other than in the new house.

Storage units can offer you the space you need for storing them. You may get dozens of square feet in which to stash boxes and totes of your belongings. You can place everything you cannot store in the new house in your storage units and avoid having to cram them in the basement, attic, or in closets.

Secured Storage

Further, you can lease storage units that are secured and safe in which to store your belongings. The facility that leases the storage units to you may provide security like a locked gate and guarded yard. However, you also may be allowed to use your own deadbolt lock and key on the storage units you lease. 

You can feel confident about leaving valuable belongings in your storage units. You avoid the worry of someone breaking into the storage units you rent and stealing treasured belongings from you.

Convenient Commitment

Finally, you can lease storage units for as long as you need to use them. You may avoid a long-term commitment to the storage units you rent. You may have the option of terminating the lease and moving your items out of storage units at your convenience without penalty. You also can continue to store your items in your storage units as long as you pay the monthly rent on them. 

Storage units can provide ample space for you to store your belongings in during and after a move. You avoid having to cram belongings into closets, your attic, or the basement in your new home. You can keep your belonging securely stored in storage units for as long as you need.
