There are many reasons why you may need to store your goods. And short term self storage is becoming more popular as a way of storing your storage problems. It is not difficult to see why.

Life moves fast these days, and you need to be flexible to take advantage of any opportunity that comes your way. You do not need to be weighed down by your belongings and the question of where to keep them. The answer to this is to rent a self storage unit where you can store your goods while you focus on your next step.

We often hear about the benefits of storage when you need to store your goods for a long time, sometimes for stretches of up to a year or even longer. This will include the storage of those items that we only need for certain times of the year, such as our seasonal wardrobes, camping gear that we haul out for our summer camping trip, or those Christmas decorations that are needed during the festive season.

What is considered to be short term self storage?

If storage is for a period of 3 months or shorter, it is considered short term storage. It works when you can keep your belongings safe when you need to keep them somewhere off-site.

When would you need short term self storage?

These are some of the situations where you as a homeowner would need short term storage. It is a flexible solution to your storage problems.

  1. Short term storage when selling your house

    You may get an offer on your home that you cannot refuse even though you haven’t found your new one yet. Instead of turning it down rather pack up and move your household goods into storage for a month or two while you look.

    The other time you may need short term storage for your household belongings is if your move-out date does not coincide with the move-in date at your new home. You might have a few weeks or even a month or two to wait before your new home is available. Hiring a self storage unit for your belongings is preferable to relying on the goodwill of family or a friend to lend you their garage for a few months while you wait for your new home. Keeping them in a self storage unit will ensure that your belongings are safely out of the way while you wait. And once you get that call that your house is ready for occupancy, you can act quickly as you are not locked into a long term contract.

  2. Short term storage when renovating your home

    Renovating your home is exciting, but it is also a stressful time. It is messy and dusty, and if your belongings are left in situ, there is a real danger of them being damaged, scratched, and dented. Renting a self storage unit is a way of removing them from the construction site and keeping them safe. Your builder will thank you too! A clear construction site will help him get the job done quicker.
    Renovations are seldom completed in the time allotted to them as there are a lot of delays that can happen with construction. If you have moved your furniture out for the duration of the build and you need to extend the lease on your self storage unit as your building project is overdue, you can easily do this with a phone call or email.

  3. Staging your home with the help of short term storage

    Selling your home is difficult in the present market. So anyway to stand out from the competition will make it easier for you. A house that is well presented with no clutter lying around is important if you want to achieve a maximum price in a short time.
    Get rid of your clutter and pack up the items that you do not use every day. Pack these away in a storage unit for a month or two while your house is on the market. Potential buyers will be able to envisage their belongings in the home without being distracted by your clutter and will be encouraged to put in an offer to purchase.

  4. Short term storage for university students

    As a student, you are normally required to clear your digs at the end of the university year, and this can create a problem of where to keep your belongings. It may not be feasible to move them back to your parental home, so hiring a self storage unit for the holidays is the solution. You can even get together with a few of your mates and share the cost of a unit. Your goods will remain safe and in good condition. This is a simple solution to the problem of where to keep your belongings for the short term.

  5. During divorce or death
