Storage Tips

10 Tips for Packing Your Unit

1

Sort Before You Store

Decide what you actually need to keep. Less stuff means a smaller unit and a lower monthly cost.

2

Clean Everything First

Wipe down furniture and dry all items before storing. This prevents mold and mildew growth.

3

Use Sturdy Boxes

Avoid oversized or flimsy boxes. Uniform, sturdy boxes stack better and protect your belongings.

4

Label Everything

Mark each box with its contents and the room it came from. You'll thank yourself later.

5

Protect Fragile Items

Use bubble wrap, packing paper, or towels to cushion delicate items like dishes, mirrors, and electronics.

6

Heavy on the Bottom

Place heavier items and boxes at the bottom of stacks, lighter ones on top. This prevents crushing and collapse.

7

Use Furniture for Storage

Pack boxes inside dressers, wardrobes, and appliances to maximize every inch of your unit.

8

Leave Space for Airflow

Keep a small gap around the edges of your unit for ventilation. This helps prevent moisture buildup.

9

Consider Tenant Protection

Protect your belongings with a tenant protection plan for added peace of mind. Learn more →

10

Keep an Inventory

Make a list of everything you're storing and keep it somewhere safe. Helpful for insurance claims or finding items later.

⚠️

Prohibited Storage Items

Do not store combustibles or perishables in units. Old paint, cleaning fluids, gasoline, and similar hazardous materials are not permitted. Drain fuel from all gasoline-powered equipment before storing.
