For the Stretch When the Old Place Ends and the New One Isn’t Ready

Few things are more New York than this: your current apartment is done on the 30th, you can’t get into the next one until the 15th, and suddenly a whole household is stuck in the air for two weeks. That exact stretch is what short-term, between-lease storage handles. Instead of tracking down a self-storage unit across town and carrying everything twice over, your entire load goes on one truck, into our own Long Island City building, and sits tight until the new place opens. Whoever empties your apartment is who brings it back, all of it tied to a single inventory from start to finish.

What’s Covered

  • A secured space in our own Long Island City building, kept for you until the new lease begins
  • Monthly pricing landing in the $120 to $340 range by size, with a frequent half-price first month
  • The wrap left untouched, exactly as it went on, every day it’s in our care
  • A signed inventory taken at intake and matched once more when it heads back out
  • A locked facility where your things see no hands but our crew’s

How It Works

Wrapping and carrying play out just like a regular job; what changes is where the truck points, our Long Island City yard rather than the address you’re moving into. Each piece registers on a signed inventory as it crosses the threshold, then sits under lock until you say the word. When you do, the whole load is pulled back off that same inventory, returns to the truck, and rides to your new curb. The service is shaped to the way moving really plays out in this city, the closing that slips a week, the gut renovation that runs over, the sublet expiring ahead of the lease you already signed, and it spares your belongings a needless round trip in and out of some rented unit elsewhere in town.

Not Your Average Self-Storage

This works nothing like a rental locker you swing by on a whim. Since the load never leaves our crew’s hands, you come by appointment. We won’t accept perishables, uncapped fluids, or hazardous materials, and the spaces come in a few sizes, so what you’re billed reflects only the room your household truly takes.

Pricing

Figure on something in the $120 to $340 monthly range depending on the unit you take, the opening month frequently cut in half, and we fold the charge into the same bill as your move whenever it includes storage. For reference, the in-city flat bands span $550 to $3,900 by apartment size, and storage shows up as a separate line on that estimate, so none of it stays foggy.

Service FAQs

What people usually want to know about this service

Why might I end up needing between-lease storage?
Because New York lease dates seldom sync. Your old apartment closes on the 30th, the next isn't ready until mid-month, and the household has nowhere to be for two weeks. We hold the full load in our Long Island City building across that gap, which spares you both a run of hotel nights and the slog of carrying everything into a self-storage unit and right back out.
How much should I budget per unit, and does it lock me into a lengthy contract?
Expect somewhere in the $120 to $340 monthly range depending on size, the opening month frequently cut in half. Nothing long-term hovers over you, so a space can carry you across a closing that slid or shelter a household a few weeks until you've landed, then wrap up the day you're through.
Will the wrapping remain on for the full stretch it's held?
Yes. Anything we padded and wrapped at your apartment keeps that covering start to finish, logged when it arrives and given one more look at release. None of your belongings sit bare on an open shelf the whole time they're with us.
Once I give the word, how fast does my stuff come back?
Name a date and the return gets booked to match it. A quick turnaround is no problem, and standing ready for one is much of why the service exists, which is what lets it fit the between-lease and renovation schedules that keep slipping around in this city.
