Who is impacted?
Affordable housing is an ongoing issue in Clark County, and many Las Vegas residents rely on storage units when facing life changes like moving, downsizing, or temporary displacement. Storage units are essential for families between homes, workers changing jobs, students, seniors, veterans, and everyday residents trying to hold onto their belongings. Right now, storage companies can change prices on a month-to-month basis, often raising rates sharply with little warning. This leaves many people scrambling to keep their property safe, adding more stress to an already difficult housing situation.

What is at stake?
If nothing changes, more Las Vegas residents will lose access to affordable storage, putting their possessions and stability at risk. Storage unit prices in Clark County have already risen sharply in recent years, tracking the same pattern as rising rent and home costs. Affordable housing does not stop at the front door. It also depends on access to affordable storage, especially during major life transitions. A Storage Unit Fair Pricing Act would require fair notice of price increases and place reasonable limits on how often and how much prices can rise, helping protect residents from sudden financial strain.

Why is now the time to act?
Las Vegas is in the middle of a housing affordability crisis, and unchecked storage unit price hikes are making it worse. As more residents rely on storage to stay afloat during housing changes, it is critical to make sure storage remains accessible and affordable. We urge Nevada lawmakers to act now by introducing and supporting legislation that brings fairness, transparency, and basic protections to storage rentals in Clark County. Fair storage pricing is part of building a stronger, more stable community.
