A storage unit isn't equipped with the same types of amenities needed to constitute a residence suitable for living but may be climate controlled in some cases.

Contractual Liability Insurance Policy "CLIP"

A contractual liability insurance protects against liabilities that the policyholder has assumed from entering into a contract of any nature.

Capitalization Rate
