What are your access hours?

Tenants can access their units 7 days a week from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM using their personal gate code. 24-hour access is available on select units — ask the office for details.

Do I need to sign a long-term contract?

No. All units are rented month-to-month. You can move out anytime with 10 days written notice — there are no long-term contracts or early termination fees.

How do I pay my monthly rent?

You can pay online through your tenant portal, by phone, in person at the office, or set up autopay with a credit card or bank account. Autopay tenants receive a small monthly discount.

What size unit do I need?

A 5x5 fits a closet's worth of items, a 10x10 holds a one-bedroom apartment, and a 10x20 fits a 3-bedroom home. Our team can help you size it right in under a minute — call or stop by.

Are climate-controlled units available?

Yes. Climate-controlled units maintain a temperature between 55-80°F year-round, protecting electronics, wood furniture, documents, and other sensitive items from heat and humidity.

Is the facility secure?

The property is monitored by 24/7 HD video surveillance, perimeter fencing, individually coded gate access, bright LED lighting, and motion sensors on every hallway.

Do I need insurance on my belongings?

Some coverage is required. You can use your existing homeowners or renters policy, or enroll in our affordable in-house protection plan starting at $12/month.

How soon can I move in?

Immediately. Reserve online or by phone, sign your lease electronically, and you can be unloading the same day. Bring a valid government-issued ID and your own lock (or buy one from us).

Do you provide moving supplies?

Yes. We sell boxes, tape, bubble wrap, mattress covers, furniture pads, and disc locks at the front office at competitive prices — no need to make an extra stop.

Can I store a vehicle, RV, or boat?

Yes — we offer covered and uncovered parking spaces sized for cars, trucks, boats, trailers, and RVs up to 40 feet. Ask about power hookups for RV storage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions storage customers ask most.

A 10×20 storage unit is about the size of a single-car garage. This unit size is ideal for storing the contents of a multi-bedroom home, large furniture sets, appliances, or keeping belongings secure during a move or renovation in the city.

A 10×10 storage unit is roughly half the size of a standard garage. It can typically hold the contents of a one-bedroom apartment, including a mattress set, sofa, dining table, appliances, and multiple boxes.

A 5×5 storage unit is similar in size to a small walk-in closet. It’s a great option for seasonal décor, small furniture pieces, sports equipment, business files, or extra household items that don’t fit comfortably in an apartment or condo.

To rent a storage unit at Mini Mall Storage, you’ll need a valid government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license, passport, or state ID.

Tenants may not store stolen or illegal goods, flammable or hazardous materials, combustible liquids, perishable food items, plants, or animals. If you’re unsure about a specific item, please contact our team for clarification.

Drive-up storage units allow you to park directly in front of your unit for easy loading and unloading. This is especially convenient for large furniture, business equipment, contractor tools, or frequent visits.
