Questions people call and ask about DS Mini Storage

No invoice is sent, and no reminder either. Paying the rent on time is the tenant's responsibility, and that is set out in the agreement you sign at move-in. Put a repeating reminder in your phone on the day you move in and it stays a non-issue.

Rent is due on the first. The lease includes a 30% late fee on rent that isn't paid when due. If you're having trouble, call. It's a small operation, and Drew would rather hear from you.

No. Locks are cut by the facility only. If you have lost your key, call and arrange it rather than arriving with bolt cutters. A person cutting a lock off a storage unit is exactly what gets reported to local security.

No. The units are for storage only. That means no working on a car or a project inside one, nothing electrical left running, and no garage sales or auctions on the premises. If you need somewhere to work, a storage unit is the wrong building.

No. Your belongings stay your responsibility while they are here, and the facility does not insure them for you. You can usually cover them through your own homeowners or renters policy, so call your insurer and ask before you move anything in.
