• Protect your belongings from scratches by covering them with moving blankets, sheets, or lightweight blankets.

• Make sure to check your unit at least once a month.

• Store mirrors and paintings in an upright position to avoid breakage. Pack your books flat to protect their bindings.

• When packing fragile or collectible items, be sure to label them well after packing to avoid confusing padded items with filling items. This will prevent accidentally throwing away items and make unpacking easier. Use bubble wrap or unprinted paper to wrap fragile items. Group similar items together and label boxes accordingly.

• Keep your clothes and curtains on hangers in wardrobes to prevent deformation and breakage.

• Consider insuring your belongings. If they’re worth storing, they’re worth insuring!

• Pay attention to your surroundings when you’re in your unit. If you notice a potential problem or see something suspicious, alert the manager.

• Use freestanding shelves to organize your unit.

• Make sure to store frequently used items near the door.

• Disassemble items such as tables, bed frames, etc., to save space. Wrap and label all parts for easy reassembly. Put all hardware in bags and label the bags accordingly.

• When disassembling electronics such as computers, stereo systems, or items with many cords, place small stickers of a certain colour on the cord and a sticker of the same colour where the cord passes through. This will save you time and energy when it comes time to reassemble your devices. If possible, store your electronics and other items in their original boxes for easy recognition.
