Just sad about the rates increasing so much.
Bauer, A.
I received a 30 day notice that the rate for my unit was increasing from $75 to $95/month. I understand needing to increase prices yearly, but a 26.67% increase is OUTRAGEOUS! On top of this, when I visited on the evening of 11/15, the elevators were out and there was no possible way to access my unit on the 5th floor (not even via stairs). I needed access to equipment for a trip that I was leaving for the next morning, and instead I ended up having to pay over $100 in rental equipment fees since I couldn't access my unit. I would love to contact someone to discuss this matter, but I can't find an email address anywhere.

We do our best to ensure that all rent increases are based on competitor pricing, and whenever possible we strive to charge less if we can. We appreciate your feedback and understand your frustration. In this case, specifically, we cut the amount of the rental increase and half as a courtesy. It is unfortunate, that the elevators were not running at the time of your visit, we do our best to keep them both services to prevent this from happening.

They decided to up their prices and I'm still waiting on my letter that I requested that explains why.
Response from Self Storage 1Mar 1, 2022
Rent increases are standard in any self-storage facility. They have generally based on competitor's prices at that time. If your address changes at any time, you are responsible to let us know in case your rent increase notice should get lost. Thank you for your business and please let us know if you have further questions.

Each month I get a dozen or more calls from many different phone numbers all reminding me that I am late, a day, a week; etc. . I know when the bill is due and don't like to constantly be reminded. And then there is always the threat sent of cutting your unit and getting rid of your items.

As is standard in our industry, we make collection calls to our tenants when rent payments are not received on time. We understand your frustration and encourage tenants to sign up for autopay to avoid this inconvenience.

Storage unit door was broken and kept falling on our heads as we tried to move in. The two parking spots were always occupied which made the move more difficult.
Response from Self Storage 1Mar 1, 2022
We apologize for any inconvenience you may have had during your move-in with us. If your unit door continues to slide down, please let us know so that we can schedule repairs. Depending on the day and time, parking can be difficult but we do our best to manage the flow of traffic as much as we can.

Lovely experience with the lady when picking and signing up for the storage unit however the day of the move in, the code they gave us did not work and our movers were stuck outside in the cold, on our dime! Nobody answered the after hours phone line. It was incredibly disappointing.
