Question 1

What Are Your Rental Terms?

Accepted Answer

We offer a true month-to-month rental without long-term commitments for predictable billing. Some storage facilities offer a 28-day rent term or 4-week rent term, where the due day will be different each month. Some months you will pay twice with a 28-day cycle.

Question 2

How Does a 28-day Rental Term Work?

Accepted Answer

With a 28-day rental term or 4-week rental term every 3 months, you pay an extra week and in a year 4 more weeks. You pay 13 times in one year instead of 12 times. This is an 8.3% increase when compared to a month-to-month rental term. Example $100.00 every 4 weeks X 8.3% is $108.30 per month. At Advantage Mini Storage in Kamloops, we offer a true month-to-month rental term for predictable billing.
