If you're going to be moving, then you might have some uses for a self-storage unit. The exact use you have for a storage unit will depend on many possible factors. You can learn more about some of the ways a self-storage unit can be helpful during your move, here: 

You can make sorting easier

Depending on the size of the home you are moving from and the number of belongings you have, it can be hard for you to sort through everything and keep it in order. You can use a self-storage unit to put the items you have sorted through and now want to keep packed and separate until your move. This will help to free up space in your home while you still have plenty of work to do. It will also help to put the things you plan on keeping packed neatly and put where they can quickly be retrieved and moved on your moving day. This is also a good way for you to help protect items, such as fragile items and even expensive furniture, while you are going to be moving things all around the house during this period. 

You can keep your things safe during the period between homes

Sometimes, a tenant will have to be out of the home they currently reside in before they have secured another to move into. If you find your family in this same situation, then a self-storage unit can be very helpful in this case as well. You can move everything out of the home you are leaving and right into a self-storage unit. It can stay in the unit until you have another home to move it all into. Without a safe space to store your things in until you secure your next home, you could be in jeopardy of losing everything. However, a storage unit will give you space the size you need that you can organize the way you want, with climate control to keep everything in good shape, and the ability to lock the unit up with your own secure lock and key. 

You can separate the things you want to sell

When you move, you may end up digging out some things that you want to sell. You may not want to have people walking in and out of your home to come pick up the items they decide to buy from you. Instead of keeping these items in your house, you can move them to a self-storage unit. Once someone wants to buy them, then you can go to the unit and pull them out of storage for them.
