I also require no deposit with credit card autopay sign up. I'm around 95% autopay.
Very rarely do i have anyone leave a unit damaged or with junk in it. The bigger problem is people who have cards go bad or don't keep enough balance in checking for debit cards.

The Canadian Self Storage Association may also be able to offer some guidance.

I feel like for a small site, especially one managed by the owner who runs the storage units as a side job (yes I am talking about myself here) that 1st of the month billing works well. The reasons:
- Calculating a prorated amount for current partial month is no big deal. I just use a calculator...Last edited by Steve_hajewski; Yesterday, 08:33 AM.Leave a comment:

Change of address procedures
When the post office returns a late letter that you mailed to a client and it comes back with a new forwarding address, do you:
- Update their address in your software based solely on the post office notice, and continue sending late/auction related noticed to the new address?
- COntact... -
All you need is proof that you tried to send it to the address that the customer provided you. What he said. Keep that sealed letter in the files. Whether or not the client is good at "adulting" is not your problem.Leave a comment:

I have a professional exterminator but he can't spray in occupied units and obviously can't be there every time a unit vacates... so I spray the interior perimeter of units between tenants after I sweep them. I use a concentrate that I mix in a spray bottle, active ingredient is permthrin.

I wonder if the state bar association would be able to step in and help? Or is there a firm that tenant worked for that could take the documents?Leave a comment:

You'll need a secure dry location with power for the DVR, and possibly for the network switches if you need to have cameras more than 300' from the DVR. Is there a maintenance/equipment unit that you can put them in?
The DVR will record footage to a hard drive and you can download it to...Leave a comment:

The camera system can probably be monitored remotely when connected to your router, but the system will also work fine disconnected to the internet. Just the remote viewing wont work.Leave a comment:

I would say no unless the city requires project renderings that are outside of the plans that your building supplier can provide.
If you have a complicated office that might change things, but your local builder or GC will probably have some resources and guidance for you if that portion...Leave a comment:

I wouldn't take a partial payment unless I was doing it with the intention of them getting out immediately. Like, you owe me $500 but you showed up with $300 and a trailer to clear out the unit. Even then you really run the risk of them picking the good stuff and leaving you with a unit for of trash....Leave a comment:

Hi Griz, here are some differences to look for...
- Exterior material thickness: Most buildings will have 26 gauge ribbed exteriors. Two manufacturers that I know of offer a thicker 18 gauge jamb and header system with no exposed fasteners. Thicker steel is stronger. Lower Gauge numbers...Leave a comment:

I'd suggest reconsidering not using storage management software. It will save you a LOT of time, and enable to you to automate many tasks involving rental increase management. It costs money to have good software, but it will make you more money and make you or your staff more efficient. Good software...Leave a comment:

One way to do it is to treat his additional capital as a loan to the LLC. If you put in more sweat equity than him, you can come to an agreement to lower the amount due to him in exchange for your otherwise unpaid work. You'll want to draft a partner agreement of some kind and your accountant can help...Leave a comment:
