Most items are allowed, including but not limited to: furniture, documents, vehicles and others. We do not permit Renters to store food, flammable items, tires, or any hazardous or illegal materials.
Most of our leases are month to month, but some may require a minimum lease term. Please call the property manager for details.
Our security gates allow access from 6:00am to 10:00pm, 7 days a week. You will be assigned a gate code after you sign your lease. We reserve the right to disable the gate system from time to time to perform routine maintenance, make repairs, upgrade or update the computer or gate system or for other reasonable purposes.
No, there are several types of locks that are suitable for self storage doors. You are required to use your own lock. If you do not have one, you can purchase one in our office.
No. Like most storage facilities we do not insure your property. You will need to obtain stored property insurance if you do not already have coverage through your renter's or home owner's policy. We have inexpensive insurance available for purchase in the office. We require you to either purchase insurance when you rent or provide us with a declaration page for your existing insurance policy.

Yes. Your lease requires written notice of intent to vacate on or before the 15th of month in which you plan to vacate. (For instance, if you plan to move out by June 30th, you will need to give notice by June 15th.) All leases are month-to-month, so the last day of your lease is the last day of the month. You may be assigned a move-out time. There is no discount for moving out early, however, please plan your move out carefully because holding over renews the obligation to pay rent for a month and may result in us relocating your items if the unit has already been re-rented. If you choose not to give notice, you may be charged additional rent and/or late fees.
Within four (4) weeks of the last day of your lease. To ensure that you receive your deposit back, please give notice of when you plan to move out, make sure the property manager has your current address on file, clean and remove all items from your unit and remove your lock.
