No payment plans. You'll be shocked at how many people will find the money they owe you when you follow your rental agreement and take them straight to lien status and add additional fees for doing so. For the most part, they're taking advantage of your willingness to put them on a plan. You're causing...Last edited by Storman; Yesterday, 08:27 PM. -
I've just finished painting the whole exterior, replacing all rain gutters, refinishing all interior floors.
My next project is updating cameras, I had a couple newer cameras installed last year and the installer said "once you see these, you're going to want me to replace all of them"....Leave a comment:

This is one of the main reasons I'm happy my facility is in an urban location with very little to no risk that any more units can come online in my market.
Other than that reason, I wish my facility wasn't in such an urban location.

On the back of my business card I've listed a number of the most forgotten terms of rental:
Gate hours are 6am to 9pm
No smoking inside the gate
Must use code on entrance and exit
Rent due on the 1st of each month
10 day notice required on move out
Animals...Leave a comment:

PTI can ignore us because there are few other competitors as entrenched as PTI. They know the cost and hassle of converting to a new provider is prohibitive, so we all take our lumps with their poor support. I've been able to find a local PTI service provider, and although I have to pay them it's...Leave a comment:

It was a good question SimplySpace, it's interesting to hear what's going on out there in the wild. Again, I hope it doesn't catch on, from an operator POV it seems like nothing but downside. I'm interested to hear you've had customers ask about it, we should all band together and tell them they're...Leave a comment:

Where are you in CA? I'm in the SF/Oakland area and your post is the first I've heard of such a thing. I certainly hope it doesn't catch on....Leave a comment:

great, so a mouse scampers by and they get an alert. Are you sure you've thought this through?
I see only downsides to this idea, the fractional increase in rent would not be worth all the hassles. I would not want to be tech support for people that don't know how to connect to a camera...Last edited by Storman; 22 June 2022, 04:26 PM.Leave a comment:

I don't think having cameras inside a rented space is a good idea. I, for one, would have no interest in management watching me inside my space. Common areas like hallways and elevators I understand, but a camera in my space would be a non-starter for me. Also, the cost of this would be prohibitive...Leave a comment:

I received an email from Storage Commander many weeks ago warning me of the change with Gmail and how it would affect outgoing emails. They also sent a step by step instruction on how to configure Storage Commander to play nicely with Gmail after getting the app password. Is there any type of configuration...Leave a comment:

Large Flat Rate Box

Will it fit safely in one of those USPS boxes, "if it fits it ships"? Those flat rate boxes are often much less expensive than alternatives. -
Well, shipping is going to be mighty expensive...I would need 250.00 and I would guarantee it to work.... -
I didn't experience any notable downturn in 2008, I just had turnover. Those that had storage space as a 'luxury', moved out and were replaced by people that had to downsize. The people that wanted more room in their home garage for the jetski or side by side went away and customers that lost their...Leave a comment:

I had a lady call me last Friday. She immediately asked me why my rates aren't on my website. I explained to her that I felt it important to talk to the customer to determine if they would be a good fit at my facility, as we have some policies that ensure the safety of all who rent here, that we offer...Last edited by Storman; 8 June 2022, 12:57 AM.Leave a comment:

I don't/won't use Sparefoot, but I'm not surprised. I think most on the forum know how I feel about aggregators and what their motives are. Sparefoot is owned by Storable. Research what else Storable owns and what THEIR goals for YOUR business might be....Last edited by Storman; 3 June 2022, 09:21 AM.Leave a comment:

I've never considered a limit, what would be the concern? I've had individuals whom have rented 5 units from me with no problem. I currently have a business renting 7 units from me.Leave a comment:
