When considering a self-storage facility, there are many features to review before making a choice or signing any contracts.
The cost of storage units in Lansing
Prices can differ significantly among storage companies in Lansing. Larger units are more expensive, and location also affects costs — units in high demand within densely populated areas cost more than units at facilities in remote locations. Other amenities such as climate control and additional security also increase the cost.
Average storage unit costs in Lansing
Unit size | Average monthly cost |
---|---|
5’ x 5’ | $50 |
5’ x 10’ | $65 |
10’ x 10’ | $80 |
10’ x 15’ | $120 |
10’ x 20’ | $135 |
Some facilities in Lansing offer discounts to groups such as association membership holders, military service members, seniors and students. You may also receive a discount for signing a long-term contract.
Pay attention to your contract. It dictates:
In addition to any obligations outlined by a contract, it’s important to keep your mailing address and contact information current with your facility. Delinquent payments can result in late fees and liens against your property. Michigan law allows the facility to sell your belongings if you fail to respond to a notice of late payment from your facility.
Insuring your stored belongings in Lansing
You’ll want to be sure your items are protected once you store them. Your homeowners or renters insurance may cover stored items, so check your policy or ask your insurance representative. If your policy doesn’t cover possessions in a storage unit, you may be able to upgrade your coverage.
Additionally, a storage unit facility can offer to facilitate third-party insurance for stored belongings on behalf of a renter. This was made legal in Michigan recently to ensure that those without home insurance or renters insurance have options to protect their belongings.
