storage unit

Place for belongings

A storage unit is a rentable space, typically in a commercial facility, where people keep belongings they don't have room for at home: We put the furniture in a storage unit while we renovated.

These facilities offer units of various sizes, from closet-sized to garage-sized.

The term also applies more broadly to any container or space designed to hold items for later retrieval.
