Module 4 Organizing a Storage Unit

Storage units usually start out as a temporary solution for holding the contents of an estate, storage during a move or a renovation.  The average cost of a storage unit in the US is $82.00/month and initially the cost is seen as reasonable. As prices increase it is easier to leave the items there then to move them to another less expensive site. The problems arise when the storage unit is too far away, hard to access items in the unit, rental fee continue to increase and people forget what is in it.  Some clients will have more than one storage unit.
