Rent-to-own storm shelters have a defined niche in the tornado protection market. Not every storm dilemma needs a permanent solution. Although permanent safe rooms better safeguard families and small companies, temporary tornado shelters are best for larger commercial projects subject to frequent relocations. While U.S. Safe Room doesn’t offer rent-to-own storm shelters, our financing options and short-term rentals afford all markets superior steel protection.
How Does Rent-to-Own Differ From Financing?
Rent-to-own allows tornado shelter buyers to lease until the purchase is completed. Although rent-to-own combines renting with buying, only financing delineates terms for sale with an interest rate. Companies that rent-to-own storm shelters might pay higher leases than standard temporary shelter rentals with a defined termination date. Financing involves the purchaser borrowing a large sum of money from a third party and making monthly payments until the money is repaid. While rent-to-own storm shelters are attractive, purchasers normally pay more than financed or rented shelters.
Temporary Safe Room Protection Better Defines Safety
While purchased and leased tornado shelter models overlap, product options differ. Prospective lessees cannot rent panelized kits or underground bunkers because of limited extraction and permanent built-in construction. U.S Safe Room leases aboveground tornado shelters with or without concrete bases.
Shelter Lease Requirements
Although federal safety inspectors don’t require jobsite tornado shelters, certain municipalities and ordinances dictate safe room operation and maintenance. Renters and lessees should confer with their county’s building inspector on local storm shelter ordinances. FEMA provides a safe room reimbursement program for qualified applicants, although federal funding might not include shelter rentals. Contact your county’s emergency management office for more information. While our shelters meet all FEMA requirements for funding eligibility, we cannot file on your behalf.
Tornado Shelter Rentals Save Money
Temporary jobsites and outdoor construction projects benefit most from tornado shelter rentals. Although some companies later alter safety plans for permanent sheltering, transient operators desire flexibility. Schools and universities operating eight to nine months a year should lease tornado shelters annually, avoiding unnecessary purchases. Moreover, leased safe room protection safeguards oil drilling operations in the storm-prone Midwest. Our knowledgeable engineers and skilled manufacturers can quickly deliver a community safe room rental to your jobsite, where it remains until lease termination.
Sensible, Comprehensive Steel Tornado Protection
U.S Safe Room simplifies timely tornado protection. Although other manufacturers mislead prospective safe room owners with attractive rent-to-own options, we delineate purchased and rented tornado shelters with dubious terms.
