When Storage Is a Part of the Solution

|

Towne Storage’s president was recently quoted in USA Today’s article Here's the truth about hoarding disorder – and how to help someone. Building on that article, we wanted to give tips for using a storage unit to help those struggling with hoarding and the loved ones who support them.

 

The Key is Month-To-Month

Renting a unit on a month-by-month basis, ensuring the facility does not have rent increases every few months, is a great starting point to clearing clutter from the home. This allows the renter to keep costs low and removes unnecessary items from the environment.

 

Feeling Freedom

Removing unnecessary items from the home will give the homeowner that peaceful, free feeling that comes from no longer being weighed down by an excess of stuff. The saying out of sight, out of mind especially applies to giving those who struggle with hoarding peace of mind.

 

Letting Go

By using a storage unit month-by-month, homeowners will know what they actively need on a day-to-day basis. It also helps break down the emotional attachment to things that many people have. If the owner cannot use or remember what is in the storage unit by the end of 60 days, they will find that letting go of unwanted and unused items is a little easier.

At Towne Storage, we offer month-to-month rental units as well as a 12-month price lock guarantee on your rent rate, giving you peace of mind during the stress of decluttering.
