**"I'm sharing my experience with Extra Space Storage because I don't want anyone else to be…read moreblindsided the way we have been. Due to the economy and real‑life situations outside our control, we've had no choice but to store two households' worth of belongings here for the past 2 1/2 years. During that time, our rate has gone up by $50-$80 every six months. Our bill is now $420 a month, which is simply not sustainable for any family trying to stay afloat. At this point, we're genuinely worried about losing everything we've stored because we can't keep up with these constant increases. I've tried to resolve this through every proper channel -- the facility, the district manager, and multiple escalations to corporate -- and corporate has not responded to a single call or email. My payment was due on the 18th, and I even went to the facility in person because I have an active escalation pending. Still no acknowledgment or consideration from corporate. I also filed a consumer complaint with the Washington State Attorney General and have not received any confirmation or response from Extra Space. This has been one of the most stressful and disappointing customer service experiences I've ever dealt with."**

As a loyal customer for over two years, I feel compelled to share my experience so others can make…read morean informed decision before renting here. My rate started at $78/month, increased to $147/month, and then jumped to $247/month -- more than triple my original rate. While they provide a month's notice before increases, the hikes are significant. When I negotiated, they offered $220 -- still far above market rate for the same unit size at competing facilities. Other long-term reviewers here describe similar experiences. The problems go back to 2025 when I reached out multiple times via phone and email, simply asking about rate options. My calls went unreturned and emails ignored until I followed up repeatedly. When I finally spoke with facility manager Melissa, she stated I had previously spoken with a staff member named Janelle on a specific date, which was not accurate. When I requested written confirmation of rates, she told me all discussions must be by phone only and did not provide anything in writing. When I took notes during our call, she accused me of trying to catch her and ended the call. What makes this particularly frustrating is the inconsistency. Melissa had previously encouraged me to use their online promotions to secure a better rate, stating, "We want you to stay at Extra Space Storage." I had done exactly this before without issue. However, when I secured a new unit at their advertised promotional rate of $138/month and requested a floor reassignment via chat -- something a representative confirmed was possible -- the interaction became confrontational, and I was told this was "unfair." Within minutes, my fully paid lease of $602.75 was canceled before I ever took possession of the unit. I initially received only a partial refund of $414.00 and had to escalate to corporate with a formal written demand to recover the remaining $188.75. For additional context, the New York City Department of Consumer and Worker Protection filed a lawsuit in February 2026 alleging bait-and-switch pricing practices and significant rate increases involving Extra Space Storage. (Public source available on nyc.gov.) Both the property manager and district manager have been referenced by other reviewers for similar communication issues. Corporate responses I received were automated and did not resolve the situation. Read every review. Document everything in writing. Two years of loyal, on-time payments earned me nothing but a tripled rate, a canceled lease, and a fight to recover my own money. https://www.nyc.gov/site/dca/news/016-26/dcwp-sues-extra-space-bait-and-switch-pricing-vermin-infested-units-junk-fees-other

Monday 7/22 I signed a contract with Battle Ground Mini Storage for unit number 404. Tuesday 7/23…read morearound 7pm I went to my storage unit, and found that there was a lock placed on the door, preventing me from accessing the unit. The office was closed. I called and left a voicemail. Wednesday, my plan was to ride my motorcycle to the storage unit, store my motorcycle in my storage and pickup the 20ft uhaul truck I reserved for an 8am pickup. I had already supplied my registration insurance for my motorcycle. Because a lock was placed on my unit preventing me access, I was not able to store my motorcycle, and forced to catch an Uber to pick up the uhaul. When I arrived to pickup the uhual the morning of 7/24 at 8am, after paying for the uhual and completing majority of the self check-in process, I found there was not a combination lock on the back of the truck. I looked all around the truck and inside the truck. I called uhual customer service, who attempted to reach the site manager. The site manager did not answer. I was then transferred to the schedule department. From there I was rerouted to Orchards location. Due to Battle Ground Mini storage not upholding their end of the rental agreement, I then had to take another Uber to the Orchard location. I arrived home at 9:30am versus my planed time of 8:30am. I hired movers through uhual to start at 9am. So I lost 30 minutes of moving time, as they were sitting waiting for me. I called the Battle Ground mini storage location and spoke to Emma. Emma advised a lock was placed on my storage unit by mistake from there their security team. She also advised she didn't know why the combination lock was not placed on the truck, and that my reservation was in the system for self check-in. As of today Emma is ignoring me. I have emailed Battle Ground Storage Unit on 08/13 and 08/19, and I have not received any response. This is the total cost I ensured due to Battle Ground Mini storage placing a lock on my storage unit causing me not to have access to my unit and for their staff not setting the combination lock on the truck: 1st Uber trip-$21.44 2nd Uber trip-$34.68 Movers: $47.50 Total $103.62 I would like to be reimbursed for $103.62. In addition, I canceled the storage right away, due to having to get a unit elsewhere and I was told I would receive a refund, for $44.84 for the unit, and I have not.

In November I called this place about storing my travel trailer (6' x 8'), I was told they had a…read moreindoor place for me; cool, so I paid $91 over the phone, and the next day I drove my trailer there. The unit they had assigned me had a walk-in, Not a drive in door, ergo there was no way I could get my trailer in the unit. Called them, explained they misunderstood what I needed, the unit would not work for me, they said my $91 would be returned in 7-10 business days. It is now January, I've been dealing with 3 different people, the first of whom I've spoken with 3 or 4 times, trying to get my money back, each time I'm told "We're sending a request for a return of your money, we'll call you back within an hour..." and then of course that doesn't happen. Today, a new person answered, and He want's to argue with me! I ask for the owner to speak with, "I'll send a request... yada yada yada". Nope, I'd like their number please. "We don't have a number for the owner." ?! How do you "contact" them then?! Sounds like all they have in the office is an email address (hard to tell, this person is not a native English speaker), in any case, I'm still getting a run around to get my original money back two months after they were unable to accommodate me and my trailer. I don't know who these other people have spoken to ("Mike"?), but My experience with these people has not been as fruitful or pleasant. Something is not right with this place, the other reviews were written in 2023, so maybe this place has sold to a new owner? Anyway, I would stay clear of this place, they're not honest, their customer service sucks hardcore.
