While people accumulate plenty of items in their homes and office places, they eventually face the problem of lack of adequate space to store their things. The result is usually stress and a feeling of a total deadlock.

In the U.S., for instance, many families live in such disorganized homes, filled with all sorts of items, that they don't even bother to look for a solution. They simply fill up their living room and bedrooms with all sorts of stuff - clothes for all seasons, boxes of old belongings, sports equipment that they don't use and so on. One can watch such homes on reality TV programs for home makeovers, which show just how uncomfortable those homes are. Not having much space is one thing - many people live in smaller flats or houses than they wish, due to their financial situation, but being surrounded by all your belongings, without having space for new ones is a whole other story. This is a very common issue nowadays, but the good news is there is an easy solution.

Fortunately in recent years, the option for renting a self storage facility has become a solution that lots of people can rely on. These storage facilities include rental units of different sizes and types with the necessary security system. The best thing about self storage is that customers can choose the rental period - from a few months to years if needed. As long as they can pay the monthly fee on a regular basis, they are able to renew the rental contract and keep their belongings for a year or even longer. There are numerous situations when individuals require a longer rental. You could be selling your home and need to store some items preparing for the home staging. You might be traveling long-distance for a job and prefer to keep your valuables in a storage unit. Or if you own a business and have goods or paperwork to store, then self-storage is the best choice.

For paperwork and delicate items,a storage unit with a climate control is ideal. This type of storage unit is an easy solution for people who live at a place experiencing extreme temperatures. This type of unit offers controlled temperature and levels of humidity, which prevents any damaged to the stored items, especially if you are keeping them closed for a long time.
When it comes to pests protection, you can be sure that the chosen self storage unit will secure that. Pests don't thrive in spaces where the humidity is controlled, so you can keep calm about that.

Do you need to access your items from time to time? Most self storage companies will provide you with a lock and a key which makes you the only one being able to go into the unit. Make sure you know when customers are allowed to check their units, especially if you have to travel long to the facility. Most self-storage facilities are open during the work week, but at specific time of the day. There are of course exceptions - more and more facilities are allowing customers late after work hours and even at night. If there is good security you shouldn't be worried about what time you go inside. Keeping your belongings in a storage unit for a long term is very common. Most people rent storage for a few months but renew the contract after that, pleased with the conditions and the convenience.
