Life rarely lines up perfectly. Your lease ends on June 30 but the new apartment is not ready until July 15. Your house sale closes a month before your purchase. Your kitchen renovation needs every room cleared for three weeks. You are travelling for the summer, studying abroad for a term or staging your home for sale. In each case, you need somewhere safe to keep your belongings for a short time, without renting a truck, finding a storage unit and making trips back and forth.

Déménagement NST Moving & Storage offers short-term storage across Greater Montreal with full pick-up and delivery. Our crew collects your belongings from your door, wraps and inventories them, stores them in our secure facility and brings them back when you are ready, to the same address or a new one. You never have to lift a box or visit a storage unit.

Quick answer: NST’s short-term storage in Montreal includes pick-up from your door, secure storage for days, weeks or months, and delivery when you need your items back, with clear pricing agreed in advance. Call (514) 458-7786.

When short-term storage helps

How NST short-term storage works – NST Montreal movers

Between leases: especially around July 1, when move-out and move-in dates often do not match.
Delayed closing dates: when a house sale and purchase do not close on the same day.
Renovations: clearing rooms or the whole home for painting, flooring or kitchen work.
Home staging: removing furniture and clutter to sell your home faster.
Travel and study: keeping belongings safe while you are away for a few months.
Emergency storage: after water damage, a fire or a sudden change of plans.
Moving in phases: storing part of your belongings while you settle into a smaller space.

How it works

Book. Tell us what you need to store and for roughly how long.
Pick-up. Our crew arrives with a truck, wraps furniture and loads your boxes.
Inventory. Items are labelled and recorded so we know exactly what is yours.
Storage. Your belongings are stored in our secure Montreal facility.
Delivery. When you are ready, we deliver everything to your new or existing home.

Storage combined with your move

The easiest way to use short-term storage is as part of your move. If your new home is not ready on moving day, we load your belongings as usual, store them and deliver them on the date you choose. One crew, one coordinator and one plan. See our residential moving and long-distance moving services.

Short-term storage around July 1

Around Quebec’s July 1 moving day, many people end up with a gap between leases. Short-term storage is the stress-free way to bridge it. Book early if your gap falls in late June or early July, when demand is highest.

Protecting your belongings in storage

Furniture is wrapped in blankets, mattresses are bagged and boxes are labelled. Items are stored off the floor in an organised way so they can be located quickly. For sensitive items such as electronics, pianos, art and antiques, ask about climate-controlled storage.

Accessing your items

Need something from storage before the end of your term? Just let us know and we can arrange a partial delivery. Many customers bring back a few boxes first, then the rest of their belongings when the new home is ready.

Short-term storage for July 1 lease gaps

In Quebec, most residential leases end on June 30, and a huge share of households move within a few days of July 1. That creates a classic problem: your old lease ends on June 30, but your new apartment is only available on July 5, or the previous tenant leaves late, or painting is not finished. Without storage, you would need to move twice, borrow a friend’s garage or pay to keep your old place for another month.

Short-term storage bridges that gap cleanly. On your move-out day, our crew loads your belongings as if it were a normal move, then takes them to our secure facility instead of your new address. When your new home is ready, we deliver, place furniture and reassemble beds and tables. You pay for a single coordinated service rather than two separate moves and a storage rental. Because demand is very high in late June and early July, we recommend booking storage at the same time as your move, ideally several weeks in advance.

Storage during renovations

Renovations are one of the most common reasons for short-term storage. Painting, new floors, kitchen remodels and bathroom work all go faster and better when rooms are empty. Contractors charge less when they do not have to move furniture around, and your belongings are protected from dust, paint and damage.

We can remove the contents of one room, one floor or the whole home before work begins, store everything securely and bring it back when the contractor is finished. If the project runs late, as renovations often do, simply extend your storage. When the work is done, we can deliver in stages, starting with the rooms that are ready first, so you can move back in step by step.

Storage when selling your home

Real estate agents often recommend removing a third or more of the furniture and personal items from a home before listing it. Rooms look larger, buyers can imagine their own furniture and photos look better. Short-term storage is the simplest way to declutter for a sale without throwing away things you plan to keep.

Our crew removes the pieces your agent suggests, along with boxes of personal items, and stores them until you move. When the house sells, we can deliver your stored items directly to your new home together with the rest of your belongings, in one coordinated move. That saves you from moving the same items twice.

Emergency short-term storage

Sometimes storage is not planned. A pipe bursts, a fire damages part of a building, a closing date is pushed back at the last minute or a landlord needs access urgently. In these moments, you need belongings out of the way quickly and safely.

We offer emergency storage across Greater Montreal, subject to crew availability. Call us, describe the situation and we will do our best to send a crew as soon as possible to pack, load and store your belongings. If insurance is involved, keep receipts and photos, and ask your insurer whether storage and moving costs are covered under your policy.

How we keep track of your belongings

A good storage service is only as good as its records. When your items arrive, they are labelled and recorded on an inventory that lists furniture pieces and the number of boxes. Boxes keep the room and content labels you or our packers wrote, so you can ask for a specific box back without unpacking everything. When we deliver, the crew checks items off against the inventory so you know everything has returned.

If you plan to ask for partial deliveries during your storage period, tell us which items you are likely to need, such as seasonal clothes, children’s toys or work equipment. We will store them where they are easy to reach.

Short-term storage for students and travellers

Students often need storage between the end of exams and the start of the next term, especially when they give up an apartment for the summer or go home to another province or country. Travellers and people working seasonal contracts need a safe place for their belongings for a few months. Short-term storage with pick-up means you do not have to rent a vehicle at the end of term or sublet an apartment just to keep your furniture. See our student moving service for budget-friendly options.
