It depends on where you live really ...not every storage unit gets locked down....and people usually only watch security footage if there's been a problem....I mean, frankly, I think you could get away with it if you're living in the right place. But then again, I've never heard of temperature controlled units before. Sounds pretty snazzy. But if you think it's the right place, and don't turn it into a loud/party spot, I'm thinking you'll be good to go. Just don't do it if there's like a 3 month minimum lease on the place.
