That's it - I'f had enough!
I know I should not respond to this but I must.
I resent the fact that you are calling the rest of us greedy just because we may charge a cleaning deposit or an admin fee! Not all of us can live and work in OZ where every tenant pays on time and you never have to deal with Lien Sales (that one is getting a little old and I don't think anyone really buys it!).
In the real world we have tenants that are PIGS, we have tenants that are homeless, we have tenants who don't have mutual respect for others property.
For us - we have been here for almost 25 years! The same family who built this place still own it! For me it is a pleasure to work for them. We have been charging cleaning deposits and admin fees since day one!
The admin fees are for maintenance and up-grades to the office and computer systems - this is a normal part of business. Your owner may just charge higher rent to cover those costs - we charge a onetime $6.00 fee!!!
The cleaning deposits are small just to keep the customer honest - 98% of the time the customer gets that back when they move out. It's a bonus that most of them forgot about. This helps to make them happy as they are leaving and brings most of them back when they need storage again!
I am happy that your facility is so fantastic - I wish you continued success, but for those of us in the real world we will continue to do business our way no matter how disgusting you think we are.
Nuff said.
Once again Teri - if I have overstepped the bounds please just delete this post.
Edit - it seems that Dirkwoods posts have been removed form this thread - this raving was in response to a post he had made.
