Business increased rent unexpectedly and refused to provide a partial refund.

Business reply on Google

Hi Chris! Thank you for your feedback. To clarify, your rental included a promotional introductory rate and a first-month-free discount, both of which were disclosed during the rental process. The introductory rate remained in effect for three full months before the unit reverted to the standard monthly rate. We appreciate your business and wish you the best moving forward.

Stored items were destroyed by a pest infestation in the unit.

Business reply on Google

Diana, I am sorry to hear about your situation. When storing fur it must remain well ventilated and dry to avoid the exact issues that you had with your item. For this reason we list fur as one of the items that is not allowed to be stored at our facility. Please check with your furrier for proper storage of your fur in the future.

Misleading pricing, mandatory lock fees, and unfair eviction practices.

Business reply on Google

We very explicitly state upon sign up that you must be completely off the grounds by 10:00 pm. The gates "lock down" at 10:00 pm and tenants on the grounds after that will not be able to exit via the main gate. For everyone's protection and the security of the property, tenants on the grounds before or after those hours will be considered trespassing and will be evicted. We take seriously the safety of all of our customers, and must have a zero tolerance policy in this regard.
