IF you're looking for a storage place to store stuff. DO YOUR RESEARCH and know what you're going…read moreto get. I have been a customer at Safeguard Self Storage in Lyons, IL for around 7 years so I have seen it all. I've seen managers come and go. I've seen doors get hit and take a month to get repaired. I've seen doors just break and take months to get repaired. I've seen managers park their car in the drive in bay. I've also heard from an old manager that the employees at the locations have no control over temperatures in the facility as a company in Florida took it over. I've pretty much seen it all, but there is more to it. When covid, rents were frozen in residential places since working was hard for most people. At Safeguard they continued to increase rent throughout covid. My units alone saw 2 increases during it of at least 10%. This past year they renovated some areas of their building including the main office and changing out the fire extinguisher. When it came to installing the new fire extinguisher boxes there was no notification from them about cutting into customers units. In one go, I had two units cut into with boxes and paper on the other side of the metal. Sparks from the grinder could've started my stuff on fire. For a month after, I could not close one of my units properly. It took them multiple complaints to fix the issue. Shortly after this happened I got a letter of increase on two of my units. I spoke to the manager, at the time, about this and due to my units getting cut. Over the phone, she told me one of my units would see the increase and the other would not. This was back in June and we are now almost in October. Even after multiple inquiries about this they have not corrected the issue nor have they acknowledged this. One of the biggest issues I've had besides this was the temperatures. Their units are supposed to be climate controlled and is publicly stated on their website to be "Heated and air conditioned units." The temperatures this past summer have been the absolute worst they have ever been in 7 years. Even on days that it was 64 degrees out, in the morning, the units were 75 degrees with a humidity of 50%. This means that they have their units programmed to stay around 75 degree and it rarely goes below that, especially during the day. I have even spoke to the Regional Vice President about this. In one email (attached as photo), He claims that this has how it's always been throughout my stay at their facility, but in prior years the temperature next went above 70-72 degrees during the summer and in the winter never went below 58 (which in reality is super cold). In his email he also states "These spaces do not provide consistent internal temperature or humidity control." If they do not provide consistent temperatures then how come they are moreso consistently at 75 degrees with the off chance that it changes +/- 2 degrees? This is caused by the temperature being set at a certain temperature. With the temperatures being set to not really go below 75 degrees shows that they are not really climate controlled or even heated/cooled. I have even been told via a phone call with Kevin that their units are "heated/cooled" for the items being stored and not for the people coming into their facility whether it's a potentially new client or one thats been here for years. While also being told "Also, we have had no other customers that have complained about the temperature settings." How are customers supposed to know the exact temperature of the units since the company doesn't publicly display it on each floor? They won't unless they buy a device like I did. Being in there for 2 minutes would cause you to sweat instantly. They literally do not care about their customers or the items you have stored in your units. All they care about is increasing your rent and earning more money, even during the covid pandemic. Even their employees hate going up to units as they know how humid it is in there and they stay in the offices 99% of the time where it's actually air conditioned. They even agree that it's ridiculous how the temps are up there, but they aren't able to do anything about it. So they just sit there without saying anything and taking home checks.
