STORAGE TIPS
Remember, we are not responsible for and we do not insure your stored items, so please pack your items carefully and do not put heirlooms or valuables in your unit. Check with your homeowners insurance agent to determine if you need additional coverage while your belongings are in storage. Hazardous materials are also prohibited in our facilities. If you have any questions about what can or cannot be stored, please give us a call.
|
● Use furniture drawers for delicate items and specially wrap and label them as “FRAGILE”. Bubble wrap and packing paper are excellent for these purposes. When packing toys or smaller objects, remember to fill boxes completely, stuffing open areas with plain newspaper to prevent collapsing when stacked.
● Larger appliances such as stoves or refrigerators provide additional space for storing towels, blankets, etc. ● Break down items such as table legs. Use protective covers and treat wood surfaces before storing. ● When storing lawn & garden equipment, drain any fluids prior to storage to avoid corrosive damage. Storing these items with fluids in them is a violation of your lease agreement. ● Always use a high quality lock on your unit. We provide Chateau disk locks for a reasonable fee with every rental, or you may use your own. |
● When storing delicate items, use specially constructed boxes, such as wardrobe boxes, and utilize a desiccant (drying agent) to absorb moisture. Remember to mark these boxes as “fragile”.
● Store furniture carefully on boards or pallets. ● Mattresses should be covered and stored flat on level surfaces. ● Be careful not store anything combustible, such as paint and chemicals, or perishable, such as food that is not permanently sealed. These items are strictly prohibited in your lease agreement with PFSS, LLC. ● When storing business files and inventory, label all boxes and construct aisles so files are easily seen and accessible. ● Use trash cans to store shovels, hoes and rakes. |
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do I get in and out of the facility?
Each customer has an assigned unique keypad access code. When you arrive at the facility, please input your code in the entrance key pad, press the # key, and wait for the gate to open. When you leave the facility, please input your code in the exit key pad, press the “#” key, and wait for the gate to open. The gate will remain open for a short period of time to allow your vehicle to clear the gate area.
There are two holes on the door where locks can be placed. Should I put two locks on my unit?
No. One position is for your lock. The other is for Facility Management use only. If you put two locks on your unit, one will be removed and discarded.
Can I follow another car in or out without entering my keypad access code?
NO - Please do NOT do this. If you follow another customer onto the premises without entering your access code at the entrance keypad, the management system does not know you are in the facility and may not allow you to exit or re-enter until we reset your code. You MUST input your code into the keypad every time you enter and leave the premises to ensure problem-free access each time you visit the facility.
When is my rent due?
All rent is due on the 1st of the month and is considered late if payment is not received by the 10th of the month. Please refer to the "Rent" and "Denial of Access" sections of your lease for more information on late fees and enforcement procedures.
My account is overdue, but I just dropped a payment in the box. When will my gate code be restored?
Your gate code will be restored and the overlock will be removed during the next business day. For example, if you deposit your payment in the box on Friday night, gate privileges will be reinstated and the overlock will be removed on Monday.
If I only need the unit for a part of the month, will you prorate the amount or issue a partial refund?
No. Our leases are month-to-month, with all rent due on the 1st of the month. If you are in the unit on the first day of the month, you will be required to pay the full monthly rental rate. We do not prorate or refund for a partial month's usage.
