Moving to a new place can be stressful for most people. However, the process to move into a unit at a mini storage facility is actually fairly easy. Most find that there is little to no stress with regards to moving in. It is very quick to start a rental and to move in. Nevertheless, it can be helpful to understand what is involved when moving into a storage unit.
The first thing to do is to sign the rental agreement. There may be a special offer when starting a new rental at the mini storage facility. Prior to signing the rental agreement, it is important to understand the pricing of the storage unit as well as how any special offers work. If there is a free month offer, many facilities will apply the free month as a discount for the first three months of the rental. Once the rental agreement is signed, the consumer can usually move in within a very short time.
The employee at the storage facility will show the consumer how to enter the unit, especially after hours when the office is closed. Depending on the facility, the renter may need to put in an access code or use an access card to gain access to the facility. Then the renter will be shown how to get into the unit itself. In some storage units, the consumer will provide a padlock to secure the unit. In other units, the facility controls access to the individual units. Another code or the key card may be needed to enter the individual storage unit.
Upon entering the individual storage unit for the first time, renters should make sure there are no issues with it. In particular, the unit should be clean. There should be no oil on the ground or any other signs that the unit has not been cleaned. The lighting inside of the unit should work properly. If the light does not work, the unit should not be used until the lights works again. After that, the consumer can start moving items into the unit. The entire process to complete the rental process at a storage facility such as St. Anne’s Self Storage should take less than an hour in most instances. The hard part will be moving items into the storage unit.
