Key takeaways
- Storage helps when your move-out and move-in dates do not match.
- Short-term storage is a few days to a few months, and long-term storage is longer.
- Pack, wrap and label everything so it comes out easy.
- Ask for a simple inventory so you know what is where.
Storage is not only for people with too much stuff. It is a tool for timing problems.
Dates that do not match
When you leave one home before the next is ready, storage holds your things until you can move in.
Renovations and staging
Storing furniture keeps it safe from dust and paint while you work, and makes a home easier to sell.
Downsizing or overseas moves
If you are moving to a smaller place or abroad, long-term storage gives you time to decide.
Pack for storage
Wrap furniture in pads, keep boxes off the floor and label everything by room and contents, with a short inventory.
