UPDATE: DO NOT RENT FROM THEM
They are back at it again. This company is horrible. DO NOT RENT FROM THEM. Since I have been with 10 Federal they have raised the rent 6 times in 3 years. They raised the rent again in April of 2024 and they just sent another increase yesterday. Ive gone from $96 per unit per month from when I started to now they want $177 per unit. The kicker is that they have the same units I have (10x20) listed for $133 per month on 2 different websites. So rather than lowering the rent for customers who have paid their rent on time for 3 years you want to raise the rent but give new customers a lower rent. Then they also do some so called TECH UPGRADES that I would never use (Read below) but charge me $3.99 additional monthly fee for these so called BS upgrades. I didn't move before when they increased the rent because it was inconvenient but I'm out of here before the end of the month.
Please read this BS, its a storage unit that you go to maybe 3 - 4 times a year, why would I need any of this

Worst company to deal with. I have 2 units with 10 Federal Self Storage who took over from StorageBliss. When they took over they raised rent $20 per unit back in Sept 2021. They are trying to raise the rent again 4 months later another $20 per unit saying they have a raise in operational costs. This facility is unmanned so what operational costs are there. You pay someone to clean the place? We are in the middle of a pandemic, people are not working and they are trying to price gouge their existing customers. Stay far away form this place, at this rate your rent will be doubled in no time. read more
