Which code does this activity belong in?
NAICS 531130 covers establishments that rent or lease dedicated self-storage space such as rooms, compartments, lockers, or containers to clients who store their own goods. This code is distinct from lessors of residential buildings, which provide housing for occupancy, and from lessors of nonresidential buildings, which lease office, retail, or industrial space for business operations. Self-storage establishments differ fundamentally in that clients access and manage their stored items themselves rather than occupying the space for residential or commercial use.
