The Del Amo Apartment Storage Challenge

Jessica Chen was facing a common Torrance apartment renter problem: her Del Amo area apartment lease was ending May 31st, but her new smaller apartment in Redondo Beach wasn’t available until July 15th.

She’d found a great deal on a 1-bedroom near the beach, but it meant six weeks of limbo between leases. And since she was downsizing from two bedrooms to one, not everything would fit in her new place anyway.

The Three-Problem Situation

Problem 1: Timing Gap
Six weeks between move-out and move-in. She could crash with friends, but where would her furniture go?

Problem 2: Downsizing
Her new Redondo apartment was smaller. She needed to figure out what to keep, sell, or donate—but didn’t want to make rushed decisions during the stress of moving.

Problem 3: No Truck Access
Jessica drives a Honda Civic. Not exactly a moving vehicle. Traditional storage meant renting a U-Haul twice (once to move in, once to move out), plus asking friends to help load and unload.

“I priced it out,” Jessica said. “Truck rental was going to be $150 each time, plus gas. And I’d have to coordinate schedules with friends to help me lift my couch and dresser. It sounded miserable.”

Why Portable Storage Made Sense

Jessica called us after searching “apartment storage near Del Amo Torrance” and finding our website.

What sold her on portable storage:

No truck rental needed
We’d deliver to her apartment complex parking lot
She could load over a weekend at her own pace
We’d store everything for six weeks
We’d deliver to her new Redondo Beach apartment when ready

“The idea of loading once instead of three times was huge,” she said. “And not having to coordinate truck rentals and friend schedules? Worth every penny.”

Delivering Storage to a Del Amo Area Apartment Complex

Step 1: Coordinating with Property Management

Before delivery, Jessica checked with her apartment complex manager. Most Torrance apartment complexes allow portable storage units temporarily in parking lots or loading areas during move-outs.

Her property manager said the container could stay in a designated loading area for up to one week. Perfect timing for Jessica’s needs.

We’ve delivered to dozens of apartment complexes near Del Amo Fashion Center. Property managers are usually familiar with portable storage and have protocols in place.

Step 2: Delivery Day

We delivered an 8′ portable storage unit to Jessica’s apartment complex on the last Saturday of May.

Delivery location: The apartment loading area near the back parking lot, about 50 feet from her ground-floor unit.

Delivery time: 10 minutes. Our driver positioned the unit where the property manager had specified, explained the lock system, and left Jessica to pack.

Step 3: Loading Over Memorial Day Weekend

Jessica had Friday through Tuesday (Memorial Day weekend) to load her storage unit.

What she stored:

Guest bedroom furniture (bed frame, mattress, dresser, nightstand)
Extra living room furniture that wouldn’t fit in her new place (loveseat, bookshelf, coffee table)
Kitchen items and small appliances (downsizing from full kitchen to smaller one)
About 25 boxes of books, décor, clothes, and miscellaneous items
Bike, exercise equipment, seasonal items

“I loaded Friday evening, all day Saturday, took Sunday off to rest, and finished Monday afternoon,” Jessica said. “Having four days meant I wasn’t rushed. I could take breaks, make decisions about what to keep, and pack carefully.”

Ground-level loading advantage: “My apartment was on the first floor, and the storage unit was in the parking lot about 50 feet away. I just walked back and forth. No stairs, no ramps, no loading into a truck first. So much easier than I expected.”

Step 4: Pickup

Tuesday morning (the day before her lease ended), we picked up Jessica’s loaded unit and transported it to our Torrance facility.

She spent Tuesday cleaning her empty apartment, did her final walkthrough Wednesday, got her security deposit back, and moved into temporary housing with friends while waiting for her new place.

6 Weeks of Secure Storage in Torrance

Jessica’s belongings stayed in our secure Torrance facility for exactly six weeks.

During storage, she:

Visited once to grab some items she realized she needed (took 30 minutes at our facility)
Sold some items on Facebook Marketplace (things she decided she didn’t need)
Made final decisions about what would move to Redondo Beach vs. what she’d donate

“Having everything in storage gave me breathing room to really think about what I needed,” Jessica said. “I wasn’t making snap decisions during the chaos of moving. I had six weeks to be thoughtful about downsizing.”

The Flexibility Factor

Around week four, Jessica’s new apartment complex called to say her unit would be ready a few days early.

“I just called Box-n-Go and moved up my delivery date,” she said. “With traditional storage, I would’ve had to rent a truck on a specific date whether I was ready or not. This was so flexible.”

Delivery to New Redondo Beach Apartment

Mid-July, we delivered Jessica’s storage unit to her new Redondo Beach apartment complex.

She unloaded over a weekend, kept what fit in her new smaller place, and donated the rest to charity. We picked up the empty unit on Monday.

Total cost: $1,050 for six weeks (delivery + 6 weeks storage + final delivery to Redondo Beach).

Compare to traditional storage:

Storage unit rental: $120/month × 1.5 months = $180
Truck rental #1 (to storage): $150
Truck rental #2 (from storage to new apartment): $150
Gas both times: $80
Total: $560

Difference: $490 more for portable storage

“But here’s the thing,” Jessica said. “I didn’t have to rent trucks twice, ask friends to help twice, or spend two weekends loading and unloading. For $490 over six weeks, that’s like $80/week for complete convenience. Totally worth it for me.”

Why Del Amo Area Apartment Renters Choose Portable Storage

Convenient location (shopping, dining, 405 freeway access)
Frequent tenant turnover (people move often)
Parking challenges in some complexes

Common Del Amo Apartment Storage Scenarios

Between-lease storage: Like Jessica’s situation—timing gaps when old and new leases don’t align perfectly

Downsizing moves: Moving from 2-bedroom to 1-bedroom to save money or due to roommate changes

Temporary relocation: Job transfers, travel, or short-term housing situations

Decluttering: Apartment living means limited space—storing seasonal items and excess belongings

Tips for Apartment Storage in Del Amo Area

Can containers be placed in the parking lot or loading area?
How long can they stay (usually 3-7 days)?
Any specific requirements or restrictions?
Do you need written approval?

We’ve worked with dozens of Del Amo area property managers. They’re usually familiar with the process.

Plan Your Loading Timeline

Best approach for apartments:

Book delivery for a long weekend if possible (gives you 3-4 days)
Pack boxes in advance (before container arrives)
Have furniture ready to load
Recruit one or two friends for heavy items (couch, dresser, mattress)
Load lighter items yourself over several trips

Maximize Your Space

Disassemble bed frames (saves space)
Stack boxes strategically (heavy on bottom)
Use wardrobe boxes for hanging clothes
