Storage Unit Register
Keep the units themselves on record, so a damp corner, a sticking door or a unit out of use is written against its number rather than remembered.
Self storage and removals · SL-13
Storage unit condition sheet — the state of a unit on the day it is emptied, anything left behind, the work needed and when it was ready to let again.
One page. Choose your paper size — both versions are laid out identically, so neither one gets shrunk to fit.

The fillable versions have real form fields — open them in any PDF reader, type into them and save. Printing help.
Settle what a unit looked like when a customer left, and what became of anything they left in it, on one signed page instead of a string of texts.
Storage operators, container yards and landlords of lock-ups handling the end of a let — especially one where the customer has stopped answering.
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: A unit on the day it is emptied — what state the walls, floor, door and lock were in, anything left behind and what was done with it, the cleaning needed and the date it was ready to let again.
What was found, not what is owed. Record what was found, plainly, and what happened to it. Whether goods left behind may be kept, sold or disposed of, or damage charged for, is for your agreement and the rules where you trade — not this sheet.
Write-on lines: Unit no. · Site · Customer leaving · Date vacated · Customer present?
Table, 5 rows: Part of unit · As found · Damage? · Photo ref. · Work needed · Done
Table, 4 rows: Item · Qty · Condition · What was done with it · Date · By
Signature strip: Cleaned and repaired on · Ready to relet from · Inspected by (signature) · Customer signature, if present
No. It records what was found and what you did with it. Whether goods may be kept, sold or disposed of, and after how long, is a matter for your agreement and the rules where you trade — the sheet deliberately does not say.
Because whether damage can be charged for, and at what rate, is set by your own agreement, not by a sheet. Record the damage plainly and photograph it; what follows is between you and the customer.
Keep the units themselves on record, so a damp corner, a sticking door or a unit out of use is written against its number rather than remembered.
Start every let the same way, with the unit shown empty, the access explained and the lock number written down before the first box goes in.
Compare like with like at the end of a tenancy, so any deduction rests on a documented difference rather than an impression.
Agree what has been cleaned and what has not, in writing, before the keys and the deposit change hands. Both parties sign the same piece of paper.
Every sheet, binder, game and puzzle on Upkeep Papers is free to download, with no email and no account. Making them is not free: each one takes days of research, design and checking, and the site costs money to run. If something here saved you time, you can buy us a coffee. It is entirely optional: nothing is locked, and nothing changes if you don’t.
