Coming into the summer months, you may be planning on moving to a new location or you may be remodeling your current home. Many of our customers choose to use short-term storage for a variety of reasons, both planned and unexpected. We see short-term storage unit rentals often when the unexpected happens — your lease falls through or the home you’re moving into doesn’t close when you expected, for example. At Security Public Storage, we can help you plan for a short-term or unexpected storage unit rental — even with minimal notice.
When Short-Term Storage is Helpful
As we mentioned previously, we see short-term storage unit rentals when unexpected changes happen in your moving plans. Leases fall through, sellers pull their homes off the market, closing dates get pushed back. A short-term storage unit rental helps you when you move into a new home that won’t happen immediately. You may be fully aware of the gap between moves or it may come as a surprise, but we can assist you in handling the storage unit rental when you need it.
Home renovations often prompt the use of short-term storage unit rentals for different reasons. Many homeowners have focused their efforts on home renovation during COVID-19 stay home orders. Projects you may have been putting off get put into action after spending a large amount of time at home. Unexpected home renovations also prompt the need for short-term storage including a flooded basement or fire damage in a part of your home, for example. Whether planned or unplanned, renting a storage unit while working on home renovations helps keep your belongings protected.

Many Security Public Storage locations have loading docks, drive-up storage units, and dollies and carts for easy loading and unloading to make moving into your storage unit a breeze. If you have items that need to be elevated from the ground, we suggest bringing risers, such as palates, to keep boxes off of the ground.
