So true, if it were me in that situation I honestly would expect some slack. I've offered the suggestion to the tenants of asking friends and family or churches and other organizations for assistance. The ones that get me teary eyes are the ones who have no one to help financially, and if they did,... -
The SOB Story
Oh brother.... how do I not sound like a complete you know what, when a tenant says they cant pay their rent due to health issues? ( They have cancer, or on dialysis, or other severe issues) I sympathize with them but they gotta pay the rent! What are some suggestions for handling this sensitive subject...Last edited by wc1974; Today, 01:05 PM. -
Yes, same here ( for those who keep the keys), otherwise we have 1 or 3 companies that leave a key at the office and the employees have to check them out. They sign a key waiver form so we have no liability....Leave a comment:

To clarify- if it was our mistake or our building that caused the inconvenience I will bend over backwards to help. But if it is something like " Oh hey I lost my keys because the key ring you gave me sucked, oh and because I showed up on the day you were closed with a moving truck you owe me for...Leave a comment:

I always answer the phone unless I am having a face to face interaction with another tenant, but then I always check the voicemail and call them right back. I have stayed late numerous times to help a customer out. I would be lying if I said I would never ignore them- sometimes I have plans I cant be...Leave a comment:

Same- except we dont accept deliveries, but we do have them put the company name on the lease. The only issues I have with it, is occasionally one of the employees will show up and have their store ID but their name is not on the access list. It makes it awkward when I have to tell them they cant...Leave a comment:

Depends on the situation and their attitude. I am more inclined to help someone out if they are nice, but if they are an ass my answer is an automatic NOPE.Leave a comment:

I could understand raising the prices up to a comparable level with other facilities, but to go over by that much ($38) when you have close competitors is not a good idea. This property I work at, we took over 5 years ago, and raised rents immediately. The occupancy has dipped as low as 85%, but even...Leave a comment:

That is scary, Im glad you were attentive. Imagine what could have happened to them if you werent walking the property! What if "Mom" had to work late? This makes me so mad, some people just shouldnt have kids. Im glad they were rescued though! Good job!Leave a comment:

Yep, and you can bet they will blame the manager for the falling rentals....Leave a comment:

MamaDuke,
I don't have RVs or homeless camping out nearby, but what I can relate to is the noise issue. The folks who own the property where my husband works ( and where we live) also own the business park right next to us that has about 20 small businesses in it. One of their tenants is...Leave a comment:

They each have a will naming the other as beneficiary followed by my sister and me as beneficiaries. We have to wait until Oct 15th before we can opt for the part D of Medicare- the part that pays for prescriptions. My mom just had to pay $500+ dollars for 1 prescription, then they changed my dads meds...Leave a comment:

Aging Parents
Nothing at all to do with storage, but my thoughts are wondering at work......I just returned from a 6 day trip to rescue my parents. They decided to go on a cross country road trip at the ages of 69 and 70. Over 6000 miles in the last month. They had a great time, but my dad ended up in the ICU in... -
BNR, I was referring to the junk units that don't sell at auction, but otherwise, yes-it would be the buyers responsibility....Leave a comment:

Just had a similar issue- I had to defend myself from the state attorneys who came calling 3 months after the tenant died- apparently tenants daughter was pissed that the tenants friend cleared the unit out immediately after death. They had the key and the code to get in so I didnt stop them, for the...Leave a comment:

That would be correct! And more if they leave a unit full of crap we have to pay to dispose of....Leave a comment:

The Cut Lock and Inventory Fee is $65.00, followed by the advertising for the sale fee of $65, and finally, the $65 fee if there is the need to clean up the unit if it is a junk unit plus...Leave a comment:

In 2 years I have had 2 Groupon users, and they walked away with a credit, no money out of pocket except the Admin fee and then moved out a month or 2 later. Definitely did not get our moneys worth from their business....Leave a comment:
