Storage Tips

• Purchase renters insurance or find out if your homeowners or renters insurance will cover your stored items.


• Label all boxes and make an inventory.


• Make sure you have the right size unit for your needs and allow for space between walls and ceiling for ventilation.


• Use wooden pallets to keep items off the floor.


• Consider unattached shelving for organization.


• Place items up front that you will need to access more frequently.


• If possible store couches on end and stack chairs seat to seat.


• Use a good wood polish on your furniture and use blankets, sheets, or moving pads to protect items.


• Make sure appliances are clean and dry, store slightly open and use the inside of appliances to store light weight items.


• Store paintings and mirrors on end, use bubble wrap or packing paper for all breakables and pack boxes tightly.


• Grease, drain, and clean all outdoor equipment and oil metal tools


• Check your unit frequently. If going out of town have someone named as the emergency contact and make sure someone you trust has a key and the code to the gate, ask that they check your unit frequently. Make sure your lease agreement reflects the names, addresses, and phone numbers of all such people.


• Report any suspicious activity, malfunctioning equipment, signs of damage, or pests to the rental office.
