Subletting is the process wherein you allow someone to rent an apartment or other living space that is leased to you. In some instances, subletting is not allowed by your landlord, but if it is and you are considering renting out your place to another person, have your thought about what you will do with your possessions? Unless you have specifically stated that you are offering a fully furnished sublet, you likely want to get your belongings out of your tenant’s space while they are subletting your apartment. And ultimately, if you value your possessions, you probably want to move your treasured belongings to a safe and secure spot of their own while someone else is living in your apartment so you don’t have to worry about coming back to items that you love being broken or even showing some wear and tear. But, where are you going to put all of your stuff for several months? A Missouri City storage unit would be an optimal choice. Before you enter into a sublet agreement and move all of your stuff out into a storage unit, here are some things you should know about storage units and how they can help you when you are subletting your apartment. Flexibility in Renting Often, storage units are available for month-to-month rentals. This means that if you only need a storage unit for one month, then you can rent a storage unit for only that specified time period and pay accordingly. If, however, you need a storage unit for six months – or even a year – that option is available, as well. Also, if you sublet your apartment and your tenant asks if they can spend another month there, and you subsequently agree to the request, your items can spend another month in the storage unit for only the cost of another month of storage. Pay For Only the Amount of Space You Need If you only need a 5’x5’ storage unit, then that is all you will have to pay for. However, if you are subletting your apartment and moving all of your furniture into a storage unit, chances are that you will need a much larger storage unit than a 5’x5’. Regardless, you only need to pay for the space that you plan on utilizing. Unlike a house or apartment, in which you have to pay for the entire place, you can choose the amount of storage space you require and only pay for what you need when you rent a storage unit. Security Features Another great thing about storage units is the fact that your belongings will be safe and secure as long as they are stored there. You do not have to worry about someone using your stuff while you are gone and take the chance that there will be scratches and nicks in your favorite furniture or questionable stains on your mattress. You also do not have to worry about whether or not someone is pilfering through your personal belongings while they are living in your apartment if you store them in a storage unit.
