MY Storage has point to point beams located in different areas of the container storage complex. These beams are activated at night and are monitored by a local Nelson security firm.  My Storage has recently installed high definition IP security cameras in various locations of the Storage Complex, continuously monitoring the complex 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  There is also an option for individually alarmed units. An extra fee is charged for a fully alarmed unit. If an unauthorized person attempted to enter a unit, it will activate the alarm which will notify the security firm who will then investigate. These alarmed units are monitored 24/7.  To secure the unit a padlock is required, that you need to supply, or for your convenience, can be purchased from the Richmond office.

One months notice is required to be given to the Licensor if on an long term open Storage Licence Agreement.   The Licensee will ensure the unit is in the same state at the end of the licence, as it was at the beginning of the licence agreement. The Licensee is required to sweep out the container at the end of the licence agreement.
