When it comes to working out what you shouldn't leave in a storage facility, it's usually best to either employ some common sense or discuss it with the staff. Take petrol and oil as examples: both of these materials are highly flammable and cannot be stored in a storage facility, because while storing something that is only slightly flammable, such as a couch, is fine, storing highly flammable materials is a liability. There are a wide range of chemicals that can be just as dangerous, such as paint thinner, chlorine bleach, and kerosene, so you should speak to the storage staff first before leaving these materials in storage, as they may emit fumes that could react together while in storage. No storage facility will allow you to store stolen goods, if not for moral reasons, then if just to avoid the legal complications that will arise as a consequence, and the same can be said for weapons, ammunition, and explosive devices, all of which Any live plants you leave in your unit will quickly attract large groups of pests and bugs which will present an issue not just to your belongings, but to those of your neighbouring tenants, so your storage unit is best left devoid of any live plant life. Live plants are an easy way to attract large quantities of pests and bugs, which can quickly become a problem for fellow tenants, so you're not able to leave any flora in your storage unit. You'll need to ensure that anything that would be chronically wet when in use, such as a surfboard, a raft, or a canoe has been entirely dried before you place it into storage, as the moisture will attract mold and mildew.

You'll be forced to content with stale air due to the relative lack of airflow inside of a storage unit, which relies on heavy insulation to help keep your belongings safe by regulating the temperature regardless of whether it is hot or cold outside. There's no way to reliably access running water or electricity, so you'll be spending quite a bit of money on fast food every day and will need to source regular access to a toilet and shower elsewhere.
