My husband was renting an office with the original contract end date of March 2022 in Arizona. He had been a well paying customer since 2020 and we have sung your praises until now. We relocated to Virginia in 2022 and upon being asked in person by a representative in your office if he was going to renew prior to that he stated he would not be. The representative just acted like it was a done deal and did not ask for any documentation or signatures from him.
Obviously since we are now in Virginia he has not stepped foot in that office since our move. He also did not receive any phone calls or anything regarding this matter to try and reach out to him and let him know payments were apparently not going through on this “renewed lease.” Otherwise, we would have had a conversation about it and nipped it in the bud then. Fast forward to October 2023 and we receive a call stating we owe $25,000 in collections? My husband works in the mortgage industry, already had to switch jobs this year and it’s been such a hard year already on us. The last thing we need is this! We are inconsolably beside ourselves. I feel that it’s extremely unethical and unkind to your loyal customers to not be vocal about your fine print auto renewal policy. He should have been told about that upon his conversation with the representative. He’s a responsible person and would have filled out the necessary documentation. After this as well, we would have appreciated you all also reaching out multiple different ways to alleviate any debt, instead of just opting to send us to collections after the bill has run up this high. We’re responsible people and if we knew any of this was happening we’d have made it right on both sides. We absolutely cannot afford this and shouldn’t have to let alone we should have heard about this way before this year. This has put an extreme strain on us and will cause us to not be able to pay for our basic living expenses. Please please someone at Regus have some compassion.
Desired outcome: Escalating the situation to remove the unpaid debt after until March 2022

This is still happening! Regus "auto renewed" my contract for 12 months in 2 different offices without any warning. Bad business.
This is still happening with REGUS in 2026. My contract was automatically renewed for a period of two years. I am not using the office, but they say, "Sorry, rules are rules," and we are not required to verbally inform you about autorenewals because its in our clause. No reminder, no break clause, 90 days notification that you wont renew.
Below is the message they sent to me.

Hi ,
Good day to you!
As previous informed for membership agreement, reminder/notification are not sent. Our customer is responsible with reading the Terms & Conditions of their agreement before signing/purchasing.
Please be advised that any request for termination must be submitted prior to the notification due date, which in your case is before Oct 2025. As there is no termination request submitted prior to the notification due date, the agreement has renewed automatically for successive periods equal to the current term (which for your case is 24 months). Kindly note that the renewal of your agreement is not a silent or hidden continuation. The renewal terms are clearly outlined in the Terms and Conditions (point 1.5) and form part of the agreement acknowledged at the time of signing/purchase.
I truly understand that financial challenges can be difficult, especially when running a business. However, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the agreement, we regret to inform that we were unable to accommodate the request for early termination. The agreement remains valid and enforceable and we’re unable to bring it to an end immediately.
We hope this clarifies.
