Do you want to avoid the common self storage complaints ? Well, all that you are going to have to do is make sure that you are planning your move carefully. Do not rent a unit that you are not going to be able to afford, and do not rent a unit that is too far away from your home. Likewise, do not rent a unit that is not going to keep your belongings safe, as this kind of unit might very well end up ruining your belongings (rather costly, indeed).
