Thinking about storage since it doesn't seem like we would have space inside the home for an owner's closet. So -- How safe is it to utilize space in garages with locked wardrobes to store your clothes and personal belongings if we were to rent the house for a few months a year?

Do I need to worry about mold? Insects? Critters? Is this a safe option?

Thanks!

You might want to look into renting storage many are temperature controlled. As to critters, it is simply amazing what they can and do get into. Ex New yorker-us too.
A mouse can squeeze through a less than 1/4 inch crack. Here perhaps less that that.
Lizards, they seem to go through walls with no cracks required.
