Renting a storage unit is almost like renting an apartment or house

When a prospective tenant comes into the facility wanting to rent a storage unit they have to fill out an application (a very brief one) just to let us know a little about themselves. Their name, current address, phone #’s, employer. We initially make a copy of their driver’s license and keep the copy in our files along with their application. We also ask for e-mail address, as this is how monthly invoices are sent out and always remind them that if they don’t receive the invoice in regular e-mail to be sure to look in their spam. Sometimes, and we don’t know why, the invoice winds up in spam. We also ask for an alternate contact person. The length of the rental is when the date indicated on the application and shall end on the last day of the month in which the agreement is signed. The rent is due on the first of the month. As I indicated above renting a storage unit is almost like renting an apartment/house, which a lot of people do not realize. Brought to you by : Storage Station :
