What is your refund policy?

Do I need content insurance or does my home insurance protect my belongings in self storage?

You need specific content insurance. Home or business insurance may cover items stored away from your insured premises for a length of time. Please contact your insurance agent for more information.

What is your cancellation policy?

Generally, customers can reserve self storage space with no money down. During peak seasons, a small deposit of $25 may be requested. This deposit protects Ladysmith Storage Centre from lost rentals during the reserve time and may not be refunded if we hold the unit and the reservation is cancelled. Otherwise, the deposit is applied to your first month's rent.

Does Ladysmith Storage Centre require security deposits? Are they refundable?

For regular indoor storage units there is a $20 damage deposit. Damage deposits will be refunded when you vacate your unit provided there is no damage to the unit.
