QUESTION:

We're thinking about renting a storage unit. What sorts of questions should I ask? What I've come up with so far:
1. How big a unit?
2. How much does it cost?
3. 24-hour access? What else? BsOYC for all answers.

ANSWER:

-Climate Control, if you're storing fabric or other absortive materials. Also, lighting in the unit.
-Depending on what you are stowing, do you need it to be 'climate controlled'? Might also want to check police records to see if there have been any break ins there lately.
-And very carefully read the contract for the information on late charges. My storage unit has very steep late fees. Also, ask for special deals if you're planning to have the unit for any length of time. Many of them will offer a free seventh month when you pay for six in advance (or something similar).
