More Information about Self Storage
Self storage (a shorthand for “self-service storage”) is an industry in which storage space (such as rooms, lockers, containers, and/or outdoor space) – known as “storage units”- is rented to tenants. Self-storage tenants include businesses and individuals.
According to industry experts stroage space is most often rented as a result of the “4Ds of life”:
- death
- divorce
- downsizing and
- dislocation (the latter referring to either the renter relocating to another area and needing space to store items until they can be moved to the new location, or a subsequent marriage resulting in the couple having duplicate items)
Description
Self-storage facilities rent space on a short-term basis (often month-to-month, though options for longer-term leases are available) to individuals (usually storing household goods) or to businesses (usually storing excess inventory or archived records).
Most storage facilities prefer that the lessor must be covered by his/her own insurance policy (if such policy has coverage for items stored off the premises of the insured).
The rented spaces are secured by the tenant’s own lock and key. Unlike in a warehouse, self-storage facility employees do not have access to the contents of the space.
Modern self-storage facilities (in which the tenant has exclusive access to the storage space) did not begin to appear until the late 1960s.
Modern storage facilities grew slowly through the 90s, at which time demand outpaced supply and caused a rush of new self-storage developments. From 2000 new facilities were built all the larger towns and cities.
Self storage today
Self-storage businesses lease a variety of unit sizes to residential and business customer/tenants – from small to medium to large. The storage units are typically window-less, walled with concrete and lockable by the renter. A controlled access facility may employ security guards, security cameras, etc. to safeguard the goods stored in the units.
In rural and suburban areas most facilities contain multiple single-story buildings with mostly drive-up units which have natural ventilation.
One in ten households now rent a self-storage unit. The growing demand for self-storage is created by people moving, and by various lifestyle transitions, such as marriage, divorce, retirement, a death in the family, etc. Recent surveys of self-storage companies indicate a positive trend in market demand and occupancy rate.
