Bank Deposit Bank deposits require you to pay cash into the beneficiary's account at a bank teller. This method is expensive and only accepted upon special arrangement. The funds will be subjected to a clearance period if cheques are used and therefore the payment is not guaranteed to the beneficiary. Charges for unpaid cheques may also be levied by the bank and this will be charged to the rental account. If cash is deposited, there will be cash handling fees levied by the bank. Kindly note that cash deposit fees are for the account of the depositor and not the beneficiary.

Stop Order A stop order is where you ask your bank to pay a beneficiary a specific amount on a regular basis. Some internet banking facilities allow setting up these instructions. They are automated and they work well but make sure you change the value being transferred when the annual increase in the rent becomes effective.

EFT An Electronic Funds Transfer is a payment you initiate via your bank's internet banking service. This is safe but you must make sure you enter the correct details in the beneficiary bank and account fields as these payments are guaranteed to the beneficiary and cannot be recalled. You cannot set regular payments, so you have to do this every month.

Is a deposit payable? Yes.  We require the equivalent of one month's rental as a deposit before your storage unit can be confirmed.

What is the notice period? We require one calendar month notice and the unit must be vacated by 18:00 on the last day of the month.

What if I do not pay? If your rent is not paid at close of business on the 7th calendar day, your account will be in arrears.  Access to your self storage unit will be refused and a R150.00 administration charge will be levied on your account.  If payment is not received by the 15th, the self storage unit must be vacated before the end of the month. Can my goods be sold? Only if we are unable to contact you and your account is in arrears by more than one month.  Please make sure that we have your latest contact details so that we can make arrangements to bring your account up-to-date.  Signing a debit order and making sure that there is enough funds in your account to meet the debit, will prevent this. Will my property be insured? You are responsible for ensuring that you have insurance cover for the goods in self storage as the service provider does not carry any liability for goods in storage. What other contract terms apply? Contracts are available from the site office or you can request a copy here. Can I be dispossessed of my goods?
