*AKA “SELF-STORAGE”*
(itself a ‘shorthand’ for “self-service storage”)
.
(also known as “mini storage”)
.
.
*”self storage” is an ‘industry’ in which ‘storage space’ (such as ‘rooms’, ‘lockers’, ‘containers’, and/or ‘outdoor space’) – also known as “storage units” – is rented to ‘tenants’, usually on a ‘short-term basis’ (often ‘month-to-month’)*
.
(‘self-storage tenants’ include ‘businesses’ + ‘individuals’)
(the “self-storage industry” is primarily a united states-based industry)
(of the 58,000 ‘storage facilities’ worldwide in 2009, 46,000 were located in the ‘united states’)
.
(‘industry experts’ often refer to the 4Ds of life…)
death
divorce
downsizing
dislocation
.
(when discussing why ‘storage space’ is rented, “dis-location” can refer to either…)
the ‘renter’ re-locating to another ‘area’ + needing ‘space’ to store ‘items’ until they can be moved to the new ‘location’)
OR
(a subsequent marriage resulting in the couple having ‘duplicate items’)
