Summer storage between spring and fall

Reserve a suitable available unit only after checking fit, access and the required move out notice.
- Month to month. Choose your actual checkout and collection dates. Give written move out notice at least 14 days before the end of the month. The final month is not prorated or refunded.
- Reserve online before move-out. Complete the agreement, payment, and protection requirements from your phone during finals week. Access instructions are sent automatically, normally within about 1 hour, with no office visit required.
- 24/7 access. Load in the evening after your last exam or early before a long drive home. The building opens to your door code any hour.

What size do students usually need?
Use these nominal sizes as planning examples. What fits depends on your item dimensions, packing, door opening and the aisle you want to leave. Measure large items and check the unit design before booking; a bedroom count does not guarantee a fit.
| Size | Sq ft | Planning example, subject to fit |
|---|---|---|
| 5x5 | 25 | One dorm room: boxes, bedding, mini-fridge, TV |
| 5x7 | 35 | A dorm room with overflow, or a furnished single room |
| 9x10 | 90 | One-bedroom off-campus apartment |
| 10x10 | 100 | Two-bedroom apartment, or 3-4 roommates splitting |
| 9x14 | 126 | Larger shared apartment, furniture included |
Split a unit, split the cost
Compare a suitable larger unit with separate units using the current total price and your storage dates. Agree how payments, collection dates and belongings will be handled. Confirm permitted users and access arrangements under the rental agreement before sharing a unit. Check live availability for the sizes you need.
When to choose indoor climate control
Outdoor storage does not regulate temperature or humidity. For a summer stay, compare the conditions your belongings need with the facility’s operating targets. Check these items and follow their packing and storage instructions:
- Laptops, consoles, and electronics.Check the manufacturer's storage conditions and battery guidance.
- Textbooks, notes, and printed material. Check suitable storage conditions and keep items clean and dry before packing.
- Photos, vinyl, and instruments. Follow the recommended temperature, humidity and packing requirements.
- Furniture, leather and wood. Follow care instructions for finishes, upholstery and wood, and measure large pieces before selecting a unit.
Climate control is included in the base price of every indoor unit. For a summer stay, choose storage conditions suited to your belongings and pack them for the time they will be stored.
How move-in works
Complete your rental online at lifetimeccs.com. Sign the rental agreement, complete payment including the 1 time $20 admin fee, then enroll in a SafeLease plan or provide verified proof of your own coverage. Access instructions are sent automatically, normally within about 1 hour after those steps are complete. Same-day move-in is usually available. Every lease is month-to-month, and the facility is self service with 24/7 access by door code. Bring your own lock; we recommend a round disc-style lock for the best fit and security.
One-time admin fee: $20 at move-in. No deposit, no long-term contract. Every lease is month-to-month, so summer-only storage costs you only the months you use it.
