A Redditor posted a Tutorial on Living in a Storage Unit
Storage units have been around for ages but got a big boost in the early 2010s with shows like Storage Wars. Suddenly, they were a big deal and for more than just finding treasures. People started using them as homes. Back in 2017, a Reddit user known as 007craft detailed how he made a storage unit a home for a couple of months. The monthly fee was just $200, so it was clearly better than rent and it already had all of his possessions in it.
He had a bed, a TV, toaster oven and hot plate, as well as a fridge. He ran power cables and even an antenna to boost his cell signal, then just had to worry about keeping it down so no one would notice him.
To improve his cell signal, he ran power cables and even an antenna. He then only had to worry about keeping everything quiet so no one would see him. According to one version of the event, after finding a legitimate apartment, the man moved out on his own, but U-Haul claims they actually caught him and ejected him.
