Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Store Food in a Storage Unit?

No, storing food of any kind, including fresh, canned, or non-perishable items, is not allowed in storage units. Food can attract unwanted pests and may violate the terms of your storage lease. If you need to store food temporarily during a remodel or home project, consider using a cool, dry area in your home or asking a friend or family member to hold it for safekeeping. When moving, you can also donate unopened, non-perishable items to a local food pantry or share them with friends and neighbors.

Can I Store Spices in a Storage Unit?

No, spices are not allowed in a storage unit, as they may attract insects or other pests. However, you can store empty jars, cookware, kitchen appliances, and other clean cookware and dishware in your unit.
