One in 10 household rent space.Â* Total of 1.9 billion sq. ft.

Average rental is 15.8 months

Six of 10 boomers visit the storage unit one a month

In a recent year. 1550,000 units were auctioned off for non payment and
abandoned.

never keep that much and when we moved about 2 1/2 years ago made many

even after moving, I still got rid of stuff.


Ever watch the cable TV show "Storage Wars" ? It is amazing how much
valuable stuff people abandon to later be auctioned off.

Lots of junk too ;-)
