The Sound of Money

As a general rule, there is no band practice allowed in a storage unit. At some storage facilities, however, band practice is allowed.  Some people may not understand why that is allowed, while others think it makes sense to allow musical bands to play their instruments.  So long as the instruments are played during daytime hours, it makes but a perfect business idea to rent a unit to someone who wants to bring his/her buddies to play some instruments for a couple of hours. 

Since no one lives in a storage unit, no one would be bothered by the noise, or music being made. Charging a standard month to month lease, you could also charge a practice fee per session/practice. You could have a couple of storage units solely used for the purpose of bands to practice in. You should set the hours they can use the unit and allow unlimited number of times they can use the space, but once again, the fee would be per practice session. It’s a win-win situation.  The band members find a comfortable and safe place to practice while the storage facility makes extra revenue.  Allowing music bands to practice inside a storage unit not work at every self storage facility, but in my opinion, it is definitely a nice way to make up for flagging rentals during the slow season.
