Introducing Roost: The Airbnb for Self Storage
- paulhauggis 12y agoI think there are too many liability issues for this for me to ever use a service like this. With AirBnb, you are only renting an apartment/home for a day at a time. With Roost, it seems like this would be a much longer length of time. -Isn't it going to be inconvenient for the person renting out their space when someone needs to come back to pick up their stuff. You can't just give a stranger a key. -Most mini-storage spaces have insurance, protection from the weather (water damage is a big problem). Will I have this same protection when renting out a person's garage? -I feel like theft will be a big issue. It would be difficult to trust a random person with anything of value.
- gregmuender 12y agoHey Paul, Very valid points. I think like many other startups that blazed a path before them, they'll be able to figure it out though :)
