No. Our standard lease is month-to-month.


When is rent due?

Rent is due on the first day of every month.


How do I make payments?

We accept all major debit or credit cards and have online payment available.

Autopay is the most reliable and convenient way to make your storage payment, as long as your credit card and credit card billing address is up to date. 


What’s the best way to pack up boxes and containers to place into storage?

Fill containers to capacity. Partially full or bulging cartons may tip or collapse. Heavy items like books or tools should be packed in small boxes so they are easy to lift. Protect your fragile goods with packing (i.e. , bubble wrap) and place them near the top of your storage space. Label boxes. Take home a list of your labeled boxes for easy reference when you need to locate your goods.


Is there any particular way to arrange my things in my storage space?

Pack the storage space carefully. Leave air space around the perimeter to aid ventilation.  Leave a walkway to the rear of your space for easy access. Use all the space available, including the height, and place frequently used goods near the door.


Do I need to give notice when I move out?

Yes. We require 10 days notice when you vacate your unit to ensure there are not additional charges. On the day of your move out, please remove your lock and make sure your unit is broom clean and you have cleaned up any oil spots or spills in the unit. 


Do you have a restroom facility?

Yes. They are available to you via your access code even if the office is closed.
