Self Storage FAQS

You have access 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

We provide you with one access card for every unit you rent, plus you can download an app for your smartphone.

We rent on a 4 week cycle. If you move in today, your rent is due 4 weeks from today. What this means to you can better budget for your storage rental as it will be due the same time before or after your paycheck.

You will be charged your 4 week rent plus tax, and a refundable security deposit, plus a lock should you choose. There are no other administrative fees.

The security deposit covers the access card should it not be returned, insufficient move out notice and / or unit cleanup when you move out. If the card is returned, the unit is broom swept clean, free of garbage, has not been damaged, you have provided sufficient move out notice and you have no outstanding charges on your account, you get your deposit back.

We have a minimum rental of 4 weeks. After that, your rent renews every 4 weeks until you move out. You are always required to pay the full rental rate at the start of each rental period.

Yes, we require 2 weeks notice before you move out; this allows us to book a tenant into the space as soon as it becomes available. The first 4 week rental period is never prorated, however in any subsequent period so long as you have provided notice of termination 2 weeks prior to your move out, we will prorate any remaining rent as of your actual move out date or scheduled move out date, whichever is later.
