Overheard a landlord say 'never rent to someone with a storage unit' at an open house in Austin
He told another agent that people with storage units are hoarders or flaky, but I've had a unit for 5 years because my last place was 400 sq ft and I already paid $200 a month for it, so which side are you on, do landlords actually screen for that or is this guy just nuts?

Wait, a landlord actually thinks having a storage unit means you're a hoarder? That's like saying someone who owns a toolbox is a mechanic. I've had a 5x10 unit for three years just because my apartment has zero closet space and I refuse to get rid of my snowboard gear, and there's no way I'm paying Austin prices for a bigger place just to avoid a landlord's weird hangup. Honestly, if they're that quick to judge a storage unit, they're probably the same type who peeks in your car to see if it's messy before deciding to rent to you.
