You've got stuff. You need space. That's personal storage.
Personal storage is when individuals rent a self-storage unit for their own belongings — as opposed to business storage. It's also sometimes called private storage. It's the most common reason people use self-storage.
You sign a rental agreement in your own name, choose a unit size that fits your belongings, and use it however long you need. Common scenarios: moving between apartments, renovating your home, decluttering, downsizing, or storing seasonal items like winter gear or holiday decorations. In Asia's dense urban markets, personal storage is booming because apartments are shrinking while people's stuff isn't. A 30 sqm apartment in Hong Kong or Tokyo doesn't leave much room for that surfboard, those winter coats, or grandma's furniture you can't throw away.
Individuals and families. People between moves, expats relocating, couples moving in together (and negotiating whose furniture survives), new parents who suddenly need more room, or anyone who just has too much stuff for their apartment.
