Short-term moves can occur for a number of reasons. Perhaps you want to attend a one-year degree program at an out-of-town school to advance your professional career or your employer has asked you to go across the country to open a new retail location for your company. Maybe you just want to travel for a few months and fully intend to return to where you currently are but do not want to get rid of your home or apartment. Whatever the reason for moving away, there are many logistical issues that arise when you move for a short period of time, not least of which is the issue of what to do with your stuff. There are some obvious options. You can get rid of it, but, if you are like most people, that is not an option that you would like to take. Why start completely from scratch when you return if you do not have to? You could try and rent out your home or sublease your apartment as a furnished rental for the period that you are away, but that often involves trusting a complete stranger with your things. You could take it with you, but for most short-term moves, your living quarters will not have the same space that your permanent home does. Fortunately, Self-Storage can Provide a Solution For many people who are wondering what to do with their stuff during a short-term move with a definite end date, self-storage presents a perfect solution. It is remarkably affordable, and we offer month-to-month rental agreements so you are never stuck in a lease that you no longer need. In addition, we offer various options so that we can meet virtually anyone’s storage needs. If this is your first time considering self-storage, here are some of the questions you should consider when looking for a unit. What Type of Items are You Storing? Perhaps most importantly, you need to consider what you will be storing. If you are storing anything that could potentially be damaged by temperature extremes or humidity, you should strongly consider a self-storage unit that is climate controlled. Examples of items that should ideally be stored in a climate-controlled environment include the following: Books Leather or upholstered furniture Clothing Art Documents Collectible items like, stamps, comics, or wine Musical instruments What are Your Access Needs in Memphis? Is there anything that you are storing that you or a family member would need to be able to grab at a moment’s notice? If so, you should consider the access policy of your storage unit. Some facilities offer access seven days a week while others may only offer access Monday through Friday.
