SINGAPORE – A man once told storage provider Lock and Store that he wanted to rent a space.

But when storage manager Nur Haziqah, 31, asked what he was going to use the space for, he told her off.

She said: “He told me, ‘You don’t need to know. I’m just storing five boxes.’” Following company protocol on handling dubious items, she turned him away.

In other incidents, potential clients insisted on paying in cash and refused to provide documentation.

Such requests were also rejected by Ms Haziqah.

While such cases are rare, storage providers here said they do have basic screening procedures for potential clients and will reject suspicious ones.
