I’ve had my stuff in storage for a few years now and honestly all the trouble that comes from not having an actual residence is a huge annoyance. In addition, considering the cost I pay for storage I’m wondering if it’s just easier to rent a cheap apartment in a no income tax state and just move my stuff there and leave it empty.

Does anyone do this? I guess my concern is with things like a pipe bursting or a break-in or something of the sort. I’d go for an apartment or condo but still the same concerns are there when it’s empty for like 99% of the year. Are my concerns valid? Does anyone rent a place and just leave it empty?
