Storage is used when a customer needs to move out of a property because they have sold it or the lease has concluded, but they have not established a property to move in to yet. Alternatively, a property owner may be conducting refurbishments or decorating a part of their property and require that particular area to be cleared for a short period. Similarly, a family may be having a large party where they require additional space for their guests and so have items removed to store for a weekend. Sometimes landlords store furniture that is not required by their tenants for the duration of the let.
