No, although we recommend reserving a unit due to high demand.  There is a nominal, non-refundable reservation fee to hold the unit however you have no further commitment if you move in or cancel by the reserved move-in date.  The reservation fee is credited to your first month’s rent.

There is no long-term obligation as we rent month-to-month.   We offer rent specials to customers who pay for 6 months or more in advance.   Want to pay for a year in advance?  Great!  There’s specials for that also!  Just inquire with our local onsite representative.

Your monthly rent is due on your anniversary move-in date. If you moved in on the 20^th of this month, your rent is due again next month on the 20^th.

After the due date, your rent must be paid within 5 days, after which, a late fee will be applied, gate access will be denied and your unit will be overlocked until payment in full is received.  You are strongly encouraged to sign up for the automatic payment option to avoid incurring late fees on your account.

No.   Rent is due in monthly increments.

Mention our website at move-in and you will receive a free, new lock.   Customer units must be locked.

Our office does not maintain any customer keys, therefore, if you lose your keys the lock will need to be cut.  Identification is required for all lock cuts and a $25 lock-cut fee will be due and payable immediately.

Most of our facilities are in residential areas. Please respect other customers and nearby homeowners by refraining from practicing music in your unit and playing music on your car radio as you load your unit. Also, when loading or unloading your unit, please respect the facility by keeping it neat and orderly and make sure other vehicles or people can pass by in driveways and hallways safely.

We ask for five days-notice before your moveout date.   A few things will be needed at the time of move out.

First, you will need to completely empty out your unit. Any remaining items may result in a disposal fee that will need to be paid immediately.

Second, remember to remove your lock. If the lock is left on the unit, you will continue to be billed each month, because we have no way of knowing it has truly been emptied.

Third, you will need to sign a move-out form stating that you are moved out. As always, our leasing associates are available to help with any questions that come up.

The security of your items is a top priority for us, but we need your help to succeed.  All locations have a gate code that is uniquely programmed for each customer.   We also have Closed Circuit Video Cameras that record 24 hours a day. What we ask from you as our customer is to be diligent to make sure you avoid tailgating into or out of the facility behind another customer so that we have an accurate record of who is on the property. We also ask that you report any suspicious activity on the property and make sure to securely lock up your unit each time you leave.

Yes, we do require insurance. You may use your renters or homeowner’s insurance if items in storage are covered (proof required). However, we recommend using Safestor which offers coverage from $1,000 to $15,000 which rates starting as low as $7.95 per month.  This company has extensive experience in the storage field, and we have every confidence in their ability to treat you and your belongings with care.  Our professional leasing staff can provide you with literature and phone numbers for Safestor insurance.

If your account is paid current, you will be able to access your unit between the hours of 6 am and 9 pm every day, even holidays.
