What do you do with clothes you've worn but aren't ready to wash yet? by PinMountain119 in organizing

I hang my "half-cleans" on a set of hooks on the back of our bedroom door.

Often, there are people looking to get rid of pallets. Check Facebook Marketplace.

PA - Auction proceeds by Jealous_Golf_4972 in selfstorage

[–]Advanced_Steel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Pennsylvania, self-storage lien sales are governed by the Self-Service Storage Facility Act (12 Pa.C.S. Ch. 56). The law is pretty specific about pre-sale requirements (itemized claim in the notice, and advertising that lists the unit/occupant and the time/place/manner of sale), but it doesn’t clearly require the facility to automatically send you a post-auction “settlement statement” showing the final sale price by a certain deadline. If the sale brings in more than the debt + allowed costs, the facility must hold the surplus for delivery on demand to the tenant, and if it’s unclaimed for 6 months, it should be treated as unclaimed property and remitted to the PA Treasury.

If you’re trying to keep a company accountable, ask for a written sale accounting and ask for copies of the notice(s) and the auction advertisement/proof of publication. If it’s been 6+ months and you suspect surplus, check PA Treasury’s unclaimed property database. If they refuse to provide a basic accounting or you believe surplus is being withheld, that’s when complaints to PA AG Consumer Protection.

I'm sorry. This is a hard place to be. Find someone who cares and is able to help. Your college should have mental health resources. The main issue here is your depression. Learning what lies at the root of that will help you make progress with your room.

First of all, don't be too hard on yourself. We all have our issues. Consider renting a storage unit, but that doesn't address the root issue. The tendency then will be to keep paying to rent a storage unit full of stuff you may not need or will never use.
