Foremost, we don’t like to see you go! However, we understand that many people use self storage on a temporary basis to get them through certain situations: buying and selling a home, downsizing, marriage/divorce, home remodelling, estate storage and so on. Whatever the reason for vacating your storage unit, there are some things you need to know and need to do to help make the moving out process smooth and easy.
How to Vacate Your Storage Unit
Give Notice
Before vacating, you will need to notify Contain Your Stuff in writing or by calling us. As per your rental agreement, we require written notice prior to the date you plan to vacate. You can email or call – whichever is easiest for you. Be sure to include the date you plan to vacate, your full name and the unit number.
If your situation changes unexpectedly and the date you planned to vacate needs to move, simply let the us know as soon as you are able. You can call the office or send an email, We can then reschedule you for the new vacate date and update your file.
Cleaning Your Storage Unit
After you have given written notice of your intent to vacate, you need to make sure your storage unit is in the same condition as when you moved in. All items need to be removed, the unit should be swept out and any stains or spills need to be cleaned to the best of your ability to avoid any fees.
Be sure to remove your lock as well. Please remember, we do not have access to your unit at any time. If you leave a lock on the unit, we will need to remove it and you will be charged a lock cutting fee.
After you have emptied out all your belongings, swept and cleaned the unit and removed the lock, you can go!
