Do I have to pay a deposit?
No. A deposit is not required however we do ask for your first payment up front. We have 3 possible payment options; 4 weeks, 13 weeks or 26 weeks. The longer you pay up front, the cheaper the weekly rate becomes. If you move out before the end of the payment period we will reimburse you for any time the unit is not occupied. However there is a minimum stay of 4 weeks.
Do I need to bring any id to secure the unit?
No id is required. Just an upfront payment of 4, 13 or 26 weeks depending on which payment option suits you best.
