Renting a storage unit can add many positives to your life. There is no question that everyone has a busy schedule and life, so why add more stress on top of it with clutter? At Latch-iT, we can take a little bit of that stress off of you by storing all that built-up clutter just sitting in your garage, living room, spare bedroom, etc. Here are 5 questions you should ask before renting a storage unit!

2. Do you have climate-controlled units, and how do they work?

Climate control matters for furniture, electronics, photos, and anything sensitive to temperature or humidity. We offer climate-controlled units at all 3 of our Latch-iT locations in Mississippi and Alabama.

3. What are the total monthly costs?
