I talked to a woman in Scarborough, Ontario that needs a storage unit for the winter.  She is going to the Philippians for three months, and does not want to pay for her apartment while she is away.  Her apartment costs 1200 dollars a month.  Her storage unit will be 93 dollars a month.

I had a caller ask me if we had auctioned off all of her belongings from her storage unit .  She was upset because she did not receive a notice that her account was past due.  I felt bad for her until she mentioned that every time her things are close to being auctioned off that we contact her.  She was mad because she had not received any type of notice this month. 

I just talked to a guy in Etobicoke about getting a storage unit for his daughter.  After a few minutes he told me I sounded American.  I confessed that I am.  He told me that his son plays for the St Louis Blues hockey team.  My boyfriend will be so excited.  Michael is a die hard fan that Bleeds Blue.

I really am amazed at the number of people that rent a storage unit just to store their Christmas items.  I have quite a few decorations myself, and I am lucky that I have attic space and a spare closet to keep them in.  But I do not think I would actually pay for storage for things I only use a few days a year.

I just had a woman call and ask me about renting a storage unit for speed bumps.  No one has ever mentioned speed bumps before, so I had to ask her several questions to figure out what size of a storage unit would work the best for her.  We finally decided a five by ten would work okay.  Then she told me she might be buying the speed bumps in a few years.

Renting a storage unit is a great idea for anyone that is putting their house on the market.  Clearing out all of the clutter makes the home looking bigger and more appealing to buyers. And getting rid of personal items allows potential buyers to see the bones of the house.  Real estate agents are a big fan of storage facilities.
