Do not rent at this place. All rude, incompetent, and doesn't have a clue what they are doing. So many issues, I don't know where to start.
#1) First issue is follow-up issues. Prior to moving in, I called and emailed the property asking about specials, move-in process, and "the free move-in truck". The problem is really don't have a "free move-in truck" because when you want to use one, they have so many rules and regulations, and it does cost something....not free, and if it's convenient enough for the employee to go pick up the truck from another property. Otherwise, you are out of luck.
#2) Month is not free! I moved in the last day of the month, and I was charged for the current full month insurance, and the next month. Even after I didn't want insurance. Insurance should be an option, not forced on us, and if it's mandatory, tell us what law indicates that it's mandatory. If we declare the items priceless, insurance shouldn't be mandatory. The words "Free" does not apply to anything related to this property. Neither does the word "Nice".
#3) This property requires 7 days notice to vacate. In any other company and self storage facility, all this means is, make sure to let them know 7 days prior to move out that you will be moving out by the end of your paid thru date. Not here!! According to the Manager/Regional Manager/Owner/Attitude/She has no one that she reports to person that I encountered at 5:30PM 10/24/2017. According to this all mighty person, 7 days notice means you have to be vacated 7 days prior to, your paid thru date. So let me get this straight, you want us to move out 7days prior to our paid thru date, and you will not refund us the 7 days left on the contract? So you can possibly turn around and rent that unit the same day, and turn 7 days profit on everyone of your customers. Another words, they aren't getting the full term or paid thru dates they paid for. This is the most idiotic thing I ever heard. It's no different than me ordering a steak, but I can only eat 3/4 of it. Really? Can an upper manager please get rid of these two, and hire someone with customer service skills, and someone that know the rules and policy. Also, try hiring people that enjoys their jobs. Both times I walked in the office, neither girls said a single word to me. Not a hello, how are you, or even a goodbye. Nothing! Instead they were too busy on their cell phones.
Oh there is more....
#4) After I went in and told the Manager/Regional Manager/Owner/Miss I answer to no one, that my unit was empty, and after she gave me an attitude and couldn't explain the 7 days notice to vacate policy. She locks me inside the property. I was seriously locked inside the property and help as a hostage. I entered my code in at the exit gate several times, and nothing. I sat at the exit gate for a while, while she slowly drove around in her golf cart picking up trash. When she approached the gate, I asked her to let me out. Instead of doing so, she tells me that I need my move out receipt. I didn't even ask for one, and I have an email address that it can be sent to. Again........Whoa!!!
5) Homeless people sitting and hanging out in their unit all day long, and they are allowed to have guests come and chill out with them all day long. Every single time I been to my unit, I seen the same homeless people just chilling inside their unit. I'm a big guy, but if I was a females coming in and out of my storage, I would be worried.
6) I received a move out receipt. On the body of the receipt this is what it says, " =========================================================================================================================================."
Again this is what happens when you hire incompetent idiotic people, with no customer service, and people skills. No name at the bottom of the email, and not a thank you or anything.
I used to be a Self Storage Regional Manager for five very large properties in SD and Orange County. If an employee treat one of our customer's like this, that employee would not be given a second chance, or ever hired.
If you are looking for a storage unit in this area, there are at least a dozen of them. Do not rent here, it's not worth it, they false advertise, and they don't care about their customers. read more
