“I wish I could give a -10. Long story short...if you have a problem, there is no real help. Things come up in any business; however, it’s all about how well the company handles things. An issue came up that caused me a series of unfortunate events. An issue that came about due to their negligence. I contacted the Bensalem, PA office. The on site members are nasty and unprofessional. I contacted the regional manager, he was just as unprofessional and uncaring. He took no responsibility and offered no apology or way to remedy the situation. I called customer service they said they could not help. I then called corporate twice but they did not call back. After only two months of rental, the company went up on rent by 15.00. Disgusting”

“I rented a parking space for my 2012 Toyota Tacoma at the Public Storage facility at 3673 South Redwood Road, West Valley City, Utah, on Aug. 18, 2020. One month later—one month—my wife and daughter went to this Public Storage facility to retrieve the truck and when they arrived discovered that the truck had been broken into, vandalized and had the catalytic converter and oxygen sensor cut out. My wife and daughter were deeply traumatized when they discovered the damage to our vehicle and the drug paraphernalia on the ground beside the truck. They immediately called the police, filed the appropriate report, called AAA and had the truck towed to Mark Miller Toyota for the extensive repair required to make the truck drivable again. The repair bill was $1,471, which was covered by my State Farm comprehensive insurance with the exception of my $100 deductible. I chose this facility because Public Storage is a national company with a good reputation. The information about this particular facility noted “property manager lives on site for added peace of mine.” This “well-lit facility is state-of-the-art and features a sturdy electronic gate with keypad access.” My vehicle didn’t survive 30 days at this state of the art, well-lit facility with a property manager who lived on site. I can’t undo the trauma and grief my wife and daughter experienced after discovering the abominable oversight and security at this poorly run facility. But I can request a refund of the $50.67 I was charged to have my truck vandalized by drug addicts, and the $100 I had to pay toward its repair. I have been told there is no way Public Storage will refund one cent to me. Abominable customer service.”

“Quite frankly, one of the worst storage companies I've ever had the misfortune of dealing with! Horrible! I should have looked at the reviews on Public Storage before I moved my things in there. IF your reading this and your foolish enough to rent from this company, you can expect a rent increase of 30% - 40% within the first year. EXPECT IT! I contacted Public Storage about this completely excessive rent increase, and all they said was "well, we can always move you into a smaller unit.". They're clever. They'll entice you to move into their units, with a very reasonable rent rate, and once you're moved in, they'll sock it to you. 6 months a massive rent icnrease, and then another increase 6 months later. Folks, stay away from Public Storage like the plague! HORRIBLE company. Owned by a bunch of shyster attorneys, from what I understand.”

“Deceptive and unscrupulous Business Practices. Before signing the agreement I asked multiple times if I was locked in at the rate I signed up for. Which the person confirmed multiple times. Little did I know, hidden in the agreement was a clause that said they can raise it for any reason after 6 months. And keep doing so at their own discretion. They can get away with it since it's a pain to move again so they take advantage of this fact. Next is that if you move out in the beginning of the month they charge you for the whole month. No prorated refund. This company is just GREED and SELF PURPOSE. NEVER trust what they tell you. Will never use them again and will make sure NEVER to recommend them to anyone.”

“Sandra was extremely helpful. Being disabled creates challenges, this is where Sandra shined. She as well as Rachel are both very courteous and professional. They deserve recognition from corporate.”

“I'm renting a unit on 7880 San Fernando Rd. in Sun Valley and I have to say, the employees really do engage in trying to help us, especially during these tough times dealing with the Corona virus. I usually have Liz, the property manager, help me in many ways such as reminding me in advance to pay my bill on time so that I can avoid having to pay penalty fees. I'm pretty sure she's having to deal with many other customers that might have difficulties paying their bill, especially with so many of us out of jobs due to this pandemic crisis. I just wanted to say "thank you" very much for all your professionalism in dealing with me and all that you do for this company. Keep up the good work Liz.”

“So your self a favor and avoid Public storage. The location on S. Meridian in Puyallup, WA is infested with rats. The initial rates are attractive but they will raise them frequently at their discretion. If the constantly raising rates are not bad enough the mold, mildew and rat excrement on your goods will really bum you out. STAY AWAY.”

“worst company I have been exposed to in a long time. This was Not a 1x bad service experience, but institutionalized extortion. Public storage lured me into a rental on Camelback Rd. (Phoenix) then raised my rent 3x in 1.5 years, equating to a 39% rate increase then refused to discuss it and began charging a late fees while I tried to discuss my challenge. I thought surely this was an accident? After great effort I spoke to someone at corporate, who said nothing she can do since they don’t set pricing there at that office. If you don't set pricing at HQ, and not at the local office, then who sets it?? It's a lie. I finally paid the balance just to get out and communicated to the local rep (the one guy who returned my calls) for a Saturday exit, then they charged me for another full month because I moved on the 3rd instead of the 1st despite my coordinating with the local rep. When I complained about how poor the service and ethics of PS is, he laughed, “You’re not the first person to tell me that. You’re definitely not the only one!“ This is a class action lawsuit waiting to happen.”
