While most people tend to think that Scottsdale storage units are for temporary storage of furniture and other belongings while you are moving, there are actually many different reasons to get a storage unit. In fact, more than half of storage units are rented for a long-term basis. Here are the top seven reasons to rent a storage unit today. Divorce When divorce rates are on the rise, the need to rent a storage unit rises, too. When couples make the decision to part ways, at least one of the spouses needs to move out. Sometimes, both spouses move to smaller places. This scenario often results in the need for self-storage units, where they can store their belongings for as long as they need to. Retirement When people retire, they often move to smaller homes or apartments that are less expensive to keep up with financially. Less space means less room for all of their belongings. Rather than giving away a good portion of the furniture and other belongings that they own, they can continue to hold onto them in a storage unit. Downsizing Just like in the divorce and retirement situations, when people downsize, they may not have the space to keep all of the furniture and other belongings that they own. Sports equipment Many families have at least one member with sports equipment that takes up a ton of space. Rather than taking a chance at storing the sports equipment in the garage or other space that may experience climate changes that can affect the equipment, they can store the sports equipment in a storage unit that will keep everything in excellent condition. Winter/Holiday Storage We may not get the extreme temperatures that states in the north experience, but our winters still bring the holidays - and holidays bring tons of decorations that take up an enormous amount of space. When the holidays are over, a storage unit can be a very useful place to store your beloved holiday décor. Business storage We have seen a significant amount of businesses turning toward storage units in the past few years. Whether they want to store excess inventory or paperwork that they must hold onto for a certain amount of years, but do not need immediate access to, or old computers and printers, Scottsdale storage units are a great option. Moving Some people are moving in-town, while others are moving across the country. To this day, and even with people using storage units for a wide variety of other things, moving is still one of the main reasons many people use storage units.
