No, lacks habitability.
You cannot live in a self storage unit. Self storage sites ban residential use under their rules and local zoning laws. Storage units do not have ventilation, plumbing, or fire safety features needed for living. Anyone caught living in a unit faces immediate eviction. For temporary housing, look at short-term lets or container homes built to local standards.
