“They keep raising my rights and I never saw it coming and did not put it in the contract… if your expecting a yearly rate you cant trust them and I will never use them again.”

“I recently made my payment through the call center $108 unit E142 George Rossi, Rochester NY, East Avenue. I did this because the Public Storage app does not allow me to add a payment method. A few days later I received electronic notifications that I had a late payment of $24. I immediately called the property manager and I was told by her that this was because the $108 the call center told me that I owed and I paid via my credit card was $2 short of the actual $110 I should owe (???) and that I had to pay the extra $2 and the $22 late fee. I told her that this was ludicrous and she told me that 'she would speak to her BM'. She has since not gotten back to me. I have two other different grievances (1) the elevating out of order for over a month and (2) carts that were available now never seen and unavailable. I'll be critiquing a Public Storage negatively on Google, contacting the Better Business Bureau about a complaint, probably the NYS attorney generals office and other agencies as to what I'm thinking are poor if not illegal business practices. George Rossi”

“This is a review of Public Storage as a company. Not the specific location. They promised me a monthly rate of $11 a month. The chipper and friendly man that signed me up was a pleasure to speak to. Well I never once paid anything less than $20. I set up autopay and then they pulled $43 from my account every month for the first few months, then bumped it up to $63. I never agreed to pay this. I would have never accepted a 11x5 storage for this price. Public storage stole money from me that I never agreed to. Then when I called to talk to someone about this issue, I was told that they do not do refunds. Zero effort to make this right and reimburse me. This is a shady business. There is no integrity with public storage. I said okay cancel my account because this is a terrible experience, then I receive a text that I’ll be receiving $30 off my next months rent. What next month?? I just canceled! And for the record, $30 reduction in what I’ve been paying would STILL not honor the amount I agreed to in March. Bad business. I would give 0 stars if that was an option.”

“I started at 138.00 per month and they in a sneaky fashion raised it to 348.00. the last raise went from 254.00 to 348.00. they know how inconvenient it is to move so they feel comfortable screwing people with these raises. I recently downsized from a 10x25 to a 10x20 to go back down to 128.00. instead of adjusting my price humanely they make you move a few hundred feet so they can continue to screw you. Beware they're all about themselves. I was promised and $84 credit when I moved to the smaller one because I had already paid the $300 plus. But the computer wouldn't allow them to do that so I was screwed out of that also. We aren't allowed to probe rates I was told. Beware they're just out to screw you out of every dime that they can!”

“I have been a Public Storage customer for over 20 years, a few different facilities. Lately, since their attempt to automate everything, the customer service has just fallen off the cliff. The bots are maddening and there are no options for anything outside basic functions, such as account issues, such as account or storage issues. This company has by far the worst customer service I have ever encountered, and I strongly discourage doing business here.”

“No customer loyalty whatsoever they'll get you in with a cheap rate and they'll keep jacking it up all of the time they couldn't care less about you the person. All they care about is money. Do your best to find another storage place, I can't stand them”

“I've had my things in the hands of public storage in fuquay varina off highway 55 for more than a year now they've always taken good care of my things and lets me know if there's a problem. They notify me not just once but they repeatedly call my phone and leave emails and text messages to let me know if there's a problem. For example one time I didn't lock my storage unit I just put the lock on this latch was not slid over they locked my unit until I was able to get there and my things were secured. Teresa has always made me feel like she is looking after not only my things but everyone's things. The storage units always smell clean floors are always mopped and cleansers fills the air. I've never seen any trash or bugs or anything that I wouldn't have in my own home near or around my unit. I recently had double paid for my unit because my payment had not went through yet causing me to push the button on my app and pay again.Teresa made sure the right person knew about it and refunded my money right away. It's hard to find good honest people today. It's hard to trust in a world that we live in. I know it seems like a storage unit is nothing to get emotional about but it's everything we own or at least items that are precious to us that we don't have room for. We pay to make sure we can keep those items like everyone else that has a storage unit. We trust that when we leave that it is secure. Every time I stop in to get something or to put something in my storage unit when Teresa's working she always makes me feel welcome. She always is smiling and making me feel like it's going to be okay even if I'm having a bad day. No one likes to move stuff, so I'm usually not feeling so well. After speaking with Teresa a few moments I feel like it's going to be okay and I move on to doing what I have to do. I recently had discovered I had more things I needed to put in my storage unit but I didn't have enough room so I needed a bigger unit. Teresa looked for a week for a unit to open up and as soon as it did she gave me a phone call. I was a few states away but I was able to make it back and move everything into that unit which makes my life a lot easier thank you Teresa.”

“The Highland Avenue store in Clearwater, FL is an excellent business - especially due to the on-site manager, Myrtie! She is extremely knowledgeable, helpful and supportive. I sometime need assistance as I am fairly old (😊) and she cheerfully helps me with patience and kindness. The place is clean and well maintained.”

“It’s so crazy how you get terminated because you had death in the family after you’ve been there for so long giving it to All and then the district manager turns around and lies. But it’s all good. Everything in life happens for a reason.”

“In September they told me my credit card was about to expire, no problem, I logged in and updated credit card info. They billed me, and again in October, then November they said I am overdue, I logged in and my autopay had been turned off. They dinged me $40 for overdue, I didn't turn off autopay, now it smells like their crappy software is making them extra money by turning off autopay. Also, they don't have ANY customer support, even if you log in there's nowhere to contact anyone for help. The on-site staff is good, but I should have to drive all the way there to get help with my account.”

“Review of Public Storage, 121 N. Houghton Rd., Tucson, AZ We do not recommend this cite as they keep their orange flat bed dollies locked in the office due to renters "stealing" them from the cite. When asked how to obtain the use of one when the office is locked during regular business hours during a week day, the office representative offered no option for contacting them to assist tenant with obtaining one for use in loading/unloading, and then laughed because I wasn't the first person to ask how to remedy this situation. She stated she's there to collect a paycheck and has no control over what happens. Very Disappointed.”

“Please DON'T ever use this company! If you are desperate enough please take out the insurance on your property. I called and asked them how is it that my property is covered in dirt and dust like someone has pressure washed the units! Her answer was I don't know, what the hell do you mean you don't know. My belongings were locked and now they are covered in dirt, no apology just well you don't have the insurance. I know this dumb ass woman! She is as dumb as a box of rocks.”

“BEWARE!! Public Storage has increased my rent multiple times since they took over the facility where I have a storage unit. Currently, my rate is about triple of the rate they are offering online for a unit like mine.”
