We've owned and operated a self storage business for the last 9 years
or so. Never have had any client complaints about household
furnishings getting damaged. There sometimes is condensation of
moisture on metal things, (filing cabinets, autos, and similar) that
can cause rusting. Well packed and covered things appear to be OK. For
best protection using a storage service with 'climate control' is
somewhat better. Mice can be a problem, too. We have a lot of long
term business storage that seems to be perfectly OK, probably boxes of
records and other office equipment.
