Ways to Get Out of Storage Unit Lease
If there’s still an active lease, that too, presents a bit of a challenge. You do have a few options, though. First and foremost is to just empty out the unit and then wait for the lease to expire. Don’t renew it and you’re home free. If there’s still a time obligation, you can ask about requesting an early release.
Some self-storage contracts spell out terms in plain language while others might leave you utterly confused. It’s smart to brush up on lease agreements before you sign on the dotted line. “If a manager is doing his or her job, there shouldn’t be any surprises,” said Kelly Epps, property manager at Pioneer Stor & Lok in Columbus, GA, who said she sits down with customers to make sure they understand their lease agreements. --SpareFoot
Keep in mind, there might well be a penalty fee for this convenience. Or, it could require you to just wait it out anyway. There’s also the possibility of subletting it to someone else. But, most storage unit lease agreements prohibit subletting. So, it’s most likely best to go the path of the least resistance.
DIY Self Storage Clean Out in Bradenton
If you are at the end or near the end of your lease agreement, you’ll probably be required to not only clear the space out, but also, to leave it in “broom swept” condition. Here are some helpful DIY self storage clean out tips you can use:
- Empty it out. Take everything out of the storage space unit. Clear it out entirely so you have ample motivation to do something with all of it. Otherwise, you'll rationalize keeping it just a bit longer. If you take everything out, you'll be less tempted to put it all back (or any of it back, for that matter).
- Document your stuff. Next, document what you have on-hand. Then, you can decide what you'll keep and what you'll offload. This will also help you to better organize what you're keeping when you take it back home.
- Purge as much as you can. Take this opportunity to really purge as much as possible. This is a great time to pare down and lighten the load so you only keep what you really need.
