They raise the rent whenever they do a "market analysis" and provide no notification. Contract states, "2.2 Your Rental Terms May Change with 30 Days' Notice. We may change your Monthly Rent, fees and charges, and any other terms of this Rental Agreement with 30 days' notice to you. We may send notice to your email address. By continuing to use Your Space, you agree to the Rental Agreement as changed and that all of its other terms remain in
effect." This is how they get away with raising your rate. I NEVER received notification of the increase as per the contract stated. To the contrary I received an email on 9/29/2025 that stated "Thank you for being a valued Public Storage customer. We’re committed to providing you with excellent service at clean, convenient, and professionally managed locations. Effective October 1, 2025, the state sales tax rate on commercial and self-service storage rent will no longer apply, affecting your monthly rent payments going forward. Starting with your October 1, 2025, your updated monthly charges will be: "Spoke to an agent and she said an email was sent out (I NEVER received an email) on 9/30/2025 about the rate going up due to a market analysis which supersedes that 9/29/2025 rate change. The get you in there and raise your rate and justify it through being a month-to month contract.
Recommendation: STAY AWAY
I have a budget. I know what my bills are every month. I go on to pay my bill for Public Storage and it is $75.00 more a month. Due to rental increases. They can change it at any time. Who reads these agreements, I like to know. They know after a month or so and putting all your storage stuff in there, your not going to want to move it all again. So they got you. This is such a SCAM. Shopping around for a different storage unit. I paid the one month of $75.00 more. And I am getting out. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! Such a scam!
