You want to know that your belongings are secure–but in the face of unexpected natural disasters, you want to know you’re covered. And while homeowner’s insurance might cover your home normally, coverage for storage units can leave you feeling dissatisfied. Mr. Storage works hard to keep you informed so that you aren’t caught off guard.
For some homeowners insurance policies, storage units aren’t covered. And even when they are, your premiums might go up if you file a claim. In a worst-case scenario, you might even find that your provider cancels your coverage for filing a claim. That’s why when you rent an affordable storage unit, Mr. Storage recommends using Tenant Protection instead–so that you get coverage you can count on.
Be sure to use a disc or cylinder lock to avoid the $200 deductible!
