Can you use storage units from month to month?


These are great for signing contracts when you are not sure you need contracts for less than a year. It also allows storage facilities to grow clientele.


Storage units get a bad rep for being long-term commitments. There are a lot of misconceptions about self-storage and procedures which are becoming redundant because a lot of Month-to-month storage options are coming up. The term flexible storage is more common that month-to-month storage. These are great for signing contracts when you are not sure you need contracts for less than a year. It also allows storage facilities to grow their clientele by catering to twice as many customers. Here’s what you need to know about flexible storage options and month-to-month storage options. 

Why use month-to-month storage. 


There are a lot of storage companies that are not interested in flexible storage. The reason for this is because they want to give their facilities out for storage in a long-term business. Renting a storage unit for a short period means that the storage providers will have to quickly find another occupant for the storage unit. This is not profitable to them and so they usually just discourage this by charging a lot for short term storage contracts. In simple words, there is little profit for a storage provider if storage space is rented for a couple of months or a few days. 

Many storage facilities lose customers by not providing flexible storage options to customers as it is unlikely that everyone requires storage for a year or more. Many people are looking for storage options for a short term periods and this could vary from month-to-month or a couple of months.

Changes in lifestyle 


But this trend has changed over the past few days. There are more storage companies providing customers with short term flexible storage. There are more and more people who require short term storage options because of their fast lifestyles. Often customers need short term storage because they are planning on travelling for a couple of months and do not want to pay rent so they move all their belongings to a storage unit. This is an avenue for businesses to use this as an opportunity and provide storage units to the customers and for affordable rates. 

The benefit of flexible storage is that it solves the shortage and unavailability of storage units due to the unnecessarily long contracts. The more availability of storage spaces the more customers.

The customers that return from your facility satisfies after months are likely to come back and use the facility again. They are also more likely to recommend the facility to more people which would result in more customers.
