Who are your best storage rental customers? Is it the customers that only rent for a short period or the long term renters? The answer should be clear. If you have more long term renters, then you do not need to worry about trying to fill up your units every month and trying to make your quota. So how do you attract the long term rental customers? What can your storage property do differently in order to attain and keep long term renters? Usually storage renters plan on staying anywhere from 2 to 3 months, up to a year, depending upon what they actually need it for. Most storage companies out there will offer a move in special. This is great because that appeals to everyone. The move in special will certainly attract storage seekers to your property that will want to rent with you, but after they get the initial move-in special is there anything that you can do to keep those long term renters?

Ground rent is the payment transferred to the owner of land by a tenant that wishes to improve upon and use the land in such a manner that both parties have previously agreed upon. Ground rent leases in the United Kingdom are generally very long-term, and can even be handed down through generation of both leaser and lessees in some cases. At no time during a ground rent agreement does the leaser of the land surrender the title to the property to the lessee, even when the land is used to build huge projects such as multi-million dollar hotels, businesses, and condominiums. On the other hand, there are laws in place to protect the lessee from potential abuse by the tenant as well.
