    I have had the unfortunate opportunity of encountering the unprofessional, rude, incompetent, and disrespectful manager D. **at the New York Ave store in Washington DC. I was provided incorrect information about filing a claim for property damage on January 23, 2026. I called on January 27th to inform him I received the incorrect information and he informed me he would speak to his supervisor and get back to me. I contacted Mr. ** this morning and he was rude and hung up on me without giving me an update. I had my partner call and request the contact information for Micheal ** the District Manager and she was hung up on as well. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

    His attitude is gross, unprofessional and a poor display of what I THOUGHT customer service with CubeSmart should be. I want to file a complaint, I will be leaving a very detailed Google review to ensure NO ONE has to deal with Mr. ** disgusting display of poor customer service and hold CubeSmart accountable for the individuals that have been chosen to represent the company.

    I have 2 Units at Cubesmart on SE 14th St in Des Moines, IA. I do wish I had all night access but that's the only complaint I have. I have had storage units at other places but this is the only one that I have ever had that I did not have a bunch of extra charges when I couldn't afford to pay for both of my units. I called them and let them know right away and they only charged me 21 dollars for a whole month so when the next payment was due I paid the missed payment, the 21 dollar late fee and the new payment.

    Every other place I have went had charged outrageous late fee amounts every week adding an even bigger late fee then auctions your unit off out from under you. As long as you notify them that the payment will be late they give you a small late fee and take the auction off the table. Every person I have dealt with at this location has been very nice and helpful, but one in particular her name is ** was the one I dealt with through the whole thing. I was terrified I was gonna lose this storage or have to pay an arm and a leg to keep it.. She assured me it was gonna be there and I would not lose any of my limbs to keep it. I would not use any other facility again. CubeSmart is my storage choice from now on! Thank You ** and Cube Smart.

    I rented a unit May 2025 for $219 plus tax with CubeSmart. They raised my unit rent to $296 in October plus tax so I was paying $305. I had since had to give my stuff to Goodwill because I couldn’t afford the fee. I moved out on 1/17/26 and asked if I was entitled to a partial refund for the month, the staff said no. I have yet received a bill to be paid 1/30/26 and when I called the staff noted that I was scheduled to move on 1/24/26. So unprofessional and I felt like I was put in a hard spot to pay or lose my stuff. They need to be more honest upfront and if the tables were turned I would have had to pay for partial rent had I stayed past the beginning of the next month.

    If I was anyone looking for a storage unit I would not use anything CubeSmart owns ever. They are looking to screw people over with their multiple price hikes sometimes in 1 year and every year. They are only out for themselves and making money. They are making massive price hikes which is crazy because the price hike is just loading their pockets not helping the customers. They barely pay anything for their storage units and pay for themselves easily in a year if not a couple years. These guys are rip off artists and I think needs to be brought to court for their overly aggressive price hikes.

    My experience with Cubesmart in East Ridge was great! Chris was very friendly and explained the prices and showed me different units. The only issue I had was with the owner. As I was paying my rent all he talked about was raising prices. Although I loved where my items were stored and it was very clean I did ask Chris for another Cubesmart location. He did provide that for me but my reason to move was because my rent kept going up. I would recommend other Cubesmart locations because the staff is great! Very respectful and professional.

    I am filing this complaint regarding CubeSmart’s handling of my long-term rental account at the 82 Fair Street location. I was a customer since 2004. After CubeSmart acquired the facility in 2017, my rent increased incrementally from $436 to $915.76 for the same unit, without proper notice, while amenities and maintenance declined significantly.

    CubeSmart’s business model appears to rely on raising rents on long-term customers who don’t constantly monitor their accounts. I rented at the 82 Fair Street location since 2004. Before CubeSmart took over in 2017, the facility was clean, climate-controlled, well maintained, and customer-friendly. After the takeover, my 8x18 unit rent increased from $436 to $915.76 through incremental hikes, while services steadily declined. They reduced temperature control, closed the bathroom, eliminated on-site staff, stopped regular cleaning, let the gate remain broken for months, and made customer service nearly nonexistent.

    In November 2025, I was falsely told my card was denied for autopay. My bank confirmed no charge attempt was made. CubeSmart refused to retry the card, threatened lockout and auction, charged penalties, and added a $36 admin fee—despite the issue being an expired card that could have been easily updated. They also claimed to notify me at an old email address they refused to correct. After 20+ years as a loyal customer, I was treated with indifference and hostility. CubeSmart prioritizes profit over fairness and takes advantage of customers who trust autopay. Check your bills carefully—rent increases are not properly communicated. Bad company. Poor ethics. Would not recommend.

    The items you put in the storage you pay to rent should be there until you remove them... My unit lock was cut off by Cubesmart whenever I paid late. This was unnecessary being that the door is made to hold two locks. This is the only time my unit was unlocked without me. I go to check on my unit and find several items missing and several boxes missing, at least ten. The other boxes were busted into and left behind when nothing of value was found. All items such as dishes, pot and pans, cast iron set, glasses, tumblers, any kitchen appliance, shoes, boots, any candle holder, vase, I mean so much I don't even want to remember it all.

    The manager told the police they don't have cameras, but there is definitely a monitor mounted in the office showing the units. When I told Brian (the manager), he sat there like a deer in headlights. Then slowly muttered info regarding the insurance. Nothing else to say... Insurance denied my claim because the was no forced entry but, I'm not done with Brian yet. He knows what happened to my (MY) belongings.

    Original price of units is way above any other storage facility but they give you 50% off to make it sound good. Then after four months they increase your rent even though they preach it’s based on the market in the area. THAT IS COMPLETELY FALSE. When I proved a unit within a few miles is cheaper before any discount they come up with an excuse and say other factors are taken into consideration. All I asked was price match down the st and I’d be happy. They cannot do that but the manager said just don’t pay the next months rent and move out we won’t charge you. So you are going to lose $250 vs just lower the increase by $20 to keep me there? Absolutely ridiculous.

    I have had this storage unit on Belvedere road West Palm beach Fl. I have been with them since 2019 because have to relocate to New york due to circumstances and when I first got the unit (it's an outside drive up unit not under air). Price was reasonable but they keep increasing the rate every 5 months or so. I was able to pay these fees. never make any complain. My Unit was broken into and I was never compensated even after made a police report. Lots of large item was taken from my unit and was never replaced or compensated even though I had insurance on my properties.

    This month they increased from high $566/month plus convenient fee of $15 to now $18 to pay online. Now they put $100 increase. This unit is not under air and is a outside unit. I contacted the store manager and was told that they would put it $583 which I believed was reasonable as a long time customer and only to find out that spoken the manager Karen she put it online to $600 plus convenient fee of $18.

    To make matters worst after I saw what she did without communicating with me. I couldn't get into my account online to pay as I have always done and it was the due date on the 9th of Dec. I noticed it keep flashing past due so not only she increased the rent enormous she switched the payment date to 12/8/2025. I can't move out just now because I'm not in town. They are thieves because I saw on the site and I called they have same unit size for $279 monthly. Don't rent from these people because as soon as they get you in they increased the rent significantly and lack of communication and poor customer service from that manager Karen.

I moved into my home and do not have a bed, I do not have a couch, I have no carpets, I have no furniture because rats destroyed it all. Everything is gone. Literally.

    I would not recommend CubeSmart to anyone, based on the following serious concerns:

    Deceptive Pricing & Excessive Rate Increases – As a small business owner with over 30 years of experience using storage facilities, I’ve never encountered rate hikes as aggressive or frequent as those imposed by CubeSmart.

    Unreasonably High Late Fees – The penalties for late payments are disproportionate and far exceed industry norms.

    Facility Breaches: The storage facility I used had at least one break-in while I was there. Management was always wanting to pilfer around in my unit too which I found unnerving, as I had some expensive antique and art pieces stored there and I couldn't always be present when they wanted to enter my unit. I've never had a storage company want to do that in more than 30 years of renting storage units. This practice did not sit well with me.

    Safety Incident – During a recent move-out at 10:10 PM, I was unable to exit the property because the gate code ceased to function after hours. Neither the emergency line nor the property manager provided assistance. Ultimately, I was forced to call 911 to be released—while accompanied by three small children. This experience was distressing and completely unacceptable.

    The fact that there is no emergency override or fail-safe exit protocol for tenants already on-site after hours poses serious safety and legal risks. Restricting a person’s ability to leave a facility—regardless of access policies—could raise questions of unlawful detainment or false imprisonment. Thankfully, this was not a medical emergency.

    I strongly urge CubeSmart to immediately review and revise its after-hours exit procedures to ensure tenant safety and prevent future incidents of this nature.

    I have been a Cube Smart customer since June 2020, when the facility on Eastgate Mall in San Diego was still managed by Storage West. The initial rent was $88 and has risen annually over the past three years to $213. I have never missed a payment, so I was surprised when I received an email this month that my account had incurred a late fee due to an expired credit card and was threatened with a lien unless prompt payment was made. I contacted them to update the information and make payment.

    Most businesses I have a relationship with have forgiveness policies for customers in good standing, but not Cube Smart. After speaking to both the facility and district managers, they refused to waive the late fee, claiming company policy forbids it. Cube Smart claims to have won customer service awards, but my personal experience does not support this. I have informed them that I will be moving out by the end of the year.

    Cube Smart demonstrates practices that could be characterized as predatory, particularly in the context of storage unit rentals. The company appears to capitalize on the scarcity of storage options and the inherent vulnerabilities of its tenants by imposing substantial and often unjustified rent increases over irregular time frames, often provided with minimal notice. Over a period of 16 months, I have encountered an aggregate rental increase of 74.5% for a single storage unit.

    Initially, prospective customers may be attracted by promotional offers, such as a pro-rated rate for the first month’s rent or a contractual note referencing an alleged discount on the regular monthly rate. However, following this introductory phase, tenants may find themselves subject to the previously mentioned exploitative practices. It is advisable for potential customers to consider alternative storage facilities that offer greater transparency and fairness in their pricing structures. Additionally, individuals should be cautious of long-term commitments; depending on one’s financial circumstances, the risk of becoming unable to meet rental obligations could lead to restricted access to personal belongings.

    For 3 months I have been telling the Manager(s) that when I arrive I am not able to turn on the lights in my quadrant... I usually show up around 7:30 am or 8:00 am. I am always told the same thing. I'll have the electrician look at it. I even called a week ahead and I was assured that the problem was fixed, only to find out this morning the same problem still exists. How hard can it be to fix this, they are only selling empty spaces. This is the Downtown Abq location at 1st and Lomas.

    I paid my storage bill Aug1, 2025 of 239 dollars. It was due August 11. I always pay early. They had an issue with their system and it did not show that I paid. Since then my payment went to pending and then it posted that Cubesmart got their money. I have not received my receipt that my unit is paid. All I got so far is a run around. The manager has done very little to help. I am told the accountant has to fix it. While I took pictures of my checking account to show it posted and paid Cubesmart. The District Manager has not been notified. The accountant has done nothing and all I get is an answering machine. I worked storage 17 years as a manager and when an issue like this happened, it was taken care of within one to two days or sometimes immediately by my DM.

    Beware! This is a predatory company. The initial sales process is easy and they offer a decent price. But then they begin rate increases of 11 to 15 percent every 40 to 60 days. I am lucky enough to be able to move my things, but what about folks who have storage because they're students or in the military or they've been through a divorce or a downsizing due to rising rents?

I should have known something wasn't right when I got the first customer survey just after we move our belongings into their storage. Like other company sending a survey out long before you can estabIish whether their services are decent or misleading. They are trying to snag a great review fast. Why? Because I have just received notice the pricing will change from $146 to $180 per month on what will be our third payment.

    I rent a unit from CubeSmart, and unfortunately, my experience has been far from satisfactory. 😔 I was immediately disappointed when I discovered issues with their management, particularly regarding billing practices. They have levied late fees on my account, which is a clear indication of a systemic problem. The fees are a direct result of a fault within their system, not any negligence on my part. I have attempted to resolve these discrepancies with the management team, but I have faced continuous delays and unhelpful responses. 😠 It's incredibly frustrating to navigate such an inefficient process, especially when dealing with important matters. I believe the management team needs to overhaul their systems and prioritize customer satisfaction. I hope they will take the necessary steps to improve their operations. Overall, this experience has been a lesson, and I advise others to be cautious. ⚠️ Englewood, CO.

    *The gate don't work for over a month,
    *They can't help your issues or clueless to understanding what's going on with the changes in your account.

    ALL JUST BS

    It seems like they are taking advantage because of the self-service storage, so they don't want to deal with the clients; but somehow they can make call backs to open accounts and send out reminders for bills.🤔 One of their operators even tried to twist the facts that there are multiple ways to pay bills, (for their benefit, not mine,) as if it's not my money before it goes into their hands. Why, would anybody want to give them electronic payment when they just change the bill payment at their leisure, don't know why even when looking into the system, they cannot assist with helping their customers with effective solutions to resolve problems? I know that computers are becoming more sophisticated but that shouldn't mean less people to people care....

The ceilings have gaps and birds got into our unit and our wood furniture was scratched and pecked, not to mention the bird poop. Of course, they blamed Steelcreek; everything is their fault.

They have every right to do this but it is extremely poor business management and while I get inflation, this is NOT that. Think twice before moving into this facility due to their practices. Find a place with a longer term lease option because moving in is easy, making plans to move out a few months later due to 25% rate increase is not.

    While there's no specific limit on rent increases, Colorado regulations expect them to be reasonable and reflect market conditions. CubeSmart does not reflect market conditions for many people there and when they’re out of state as in my case, they’re completely beyond Market. Take CubeSmart 50 South Havana. They raise rents without notice. CubeSmart will take money out of auto pay in addition to what you have okayed (they raise the rent without notice and then they take it out of your account using auto pay) and the manager there is actually threatening.

    The units are commonly broken into At CubeSmart.. My unit was broken into More than once and CubeSmart actually charged me a large monthly fee that would be excessive to market … multiple increases. (Cubesmart) in which my storage unit was broken into and the valuables stolen on more than one occasion .. The old company there Before CubeSmart was wonderful …. BUT I had been out of state for a few years. CubeSmart had taken over and a new manager (who several residents thought he was responsible for breaking into the units) Was in place. Broken into more than once … That is a scary thought and then they told me they were increasing rent for increased security, which was never installed anywhere that I could see.

    CubeSmart dramatically increased my rent well above market value… . I had auto pay, but CubeSmart raised rents well above market and took it out of my bank without notifying me of the increase and without my permission I didn’t notice it for a couple months. CubeSmart was very surprised that I showed up that week and wanted to move all my stuff out .. They actually tried to prevent me from doing this because they wanted the next months rent. And they had raised it. Considerably, but didn’t think I would return to remove my items. The items remaining was mostly sentimental and valuable to me, but not to others.

    CubeSmart was a very abusive company with a very abusive manager. I called the cubeSmart corporate office and I was told by corporate that my rent had been raised without giving me notice and some of the other issues that was against state law was also OK. CubeSmart corporate didn’t help me, and even though there were issues contrary to the law.. Corporate was fine with the abuse… even when I told them that it was self storage and I was paid up… but the manager tried to prevent me from moving my stuff out…. It was OK with CubeSmart. CubeSmart was fine with the manager nor did they help me!

    So I hold CubeSmart responsible for having such a horrible manager that was completely out of control… The other Review for CubeSmart was one Star written a month ago, and their experience was just like mine.. A complete nightmare with CubeSmart. CubeSmart was a nightmare. It wasn’t just they kept raising the rent and overcharging me…. They would take it off auto pay and not ask my permission to charge the extra money.

All the while whenever I conveyed frustration to the manager regarding the bill or whatever he would smirk and smile "guilty smirk" as if enjoying causing unnecessary suffering! I would have been better off using my bosses' shed!

    I will never ever return bring my business and I commit actively to educate others to avoid using this business at all cost! Perhaps if they go out of business then no one no other person will be taking advantage of with bait and switch or fabricated administrative fees!

    I have had CubeSmart lockers for many years. I currently have two active lockers. My granddaughter went to retrieve some of her items from one of my lockers today. She found two locks on the locker, a locker I paid for. So I called the manager and a person named Sean (sp) answered. He told me that those were their locks and had been put on since 2020. I got angry. I knew he was trying to decieve me since I personally have been to that locker since then. He told me I would have to travel to the locker site and show ID to have the locks removed. Keep in mind, the locker is paid up. No money is due on the locker.

    In addition, the price of the locker (10 x 15) (including insurance I pay for) has steadily escalated since I purchased it in 2020, rising to more than $300 per month now. Over the years, I have paid over $12,000 for this locker only to find it locked with thier locks. To say I am pissed is an understatement. It is true that I let my feelings be known when talking to Sean (maybe some cursing on my part) but I was very angry. Sean hung up on me and refused my subsequent calls.

    So, in summary, they say they locked the locker the year I rented I and I never came back, even though I did, they refused to take the locks off without my appearing in person (I live 180 miles away) even though the locker is paid up. And the so called manager Sean now refused to take my calls and help me. Spend your money at other locker companies. CubeSmart is a scam.

During this time my rent has doubled but the vast majority of the 4 years, the lighting above my unit flickered. I was told time and time again that it would be fixed but it wasn't. Finally it was fixed a few months ago but very soon the lights burned out completely and have yet to be fixed as of today, March 19th.

    RODENT INFESTATION! DO NOT STORE HERE! I had 4 storage units rented at the CubeSmart on Everhart Rd in Corpus Christi, TX for over 3 years to store brand-new furniture and decor for a new home we were building in Port Aransas, TX. When our new home was finally completed, and we emptied the units, we discovered extensive damage to some of our furniture and rugs due to rodents. There were rodent feces, urine stains and 3 of the rugs had been chewed through - completely ruining brand-new pieces including a custom sofa.

    When we contacted CubeSmart about the issue, they claimed to provide monthly pest and rodent control but when we asked for proof of this maintenance, they refused to provide it. Instead of offering any real assistance, they told us we should not have stored VALUABLE ITEMs in their facility - something that was never mentioned when we initially rented the units. Despite multiple calls and emails attempting to resolve the situation, CubeSmart has done nothing and offered no compensation whatsoever. DO NOT STORE HERE IF YOU VALUE YOUR BELONGINGS!

A nearby competitive storage rental facility -- which has a different name -- is in fact owned by Cubesmart! Save yourself the headache and hassle of dealing with them by not dealing with them.

    When all of our belongings were found to be covered in mildew, the insurance coverage we paid for did not cover the damages, because ..."the water damage wasn't caused by the direct result of broken piping..." it was caused by a broken heater, which cause water vapor to build up in the unit which in turn began to cause mildew to grow. The use clever language in their insurance polices to avoid paying out the cost of damages. Other issues include, frequent lying by their management. The managers get moved around often, or simply leave. DO NOT TRUST CUBESMART!

    First of all, I'm sure those recent 5 star reviews either come from in house or new customers that received deals with a smile upon their initial storage charge. However, those stars will decrease within a year or so because Cube Smart raises their storage rates more than any other storage facility I've researched. Granted, the units and the buildings are fairly clean and air conditioned, but an average 25-30% increase every year is absurd and nowhere close to reasonable. It's time to lobby for legislation to put a cap on rental unit increases or at least have an option to lock in a rate for customers who've been there for an extended period of time since those payments keep their facilities operating more than short-term customers.

    This was the worst experience. Rented an indoor storage unit 5' x 10' to store some antique and collectible books. Before the end of my first month I went to collect some books and found that termites had damaged an entire box of books, about $455 in value completely lost. They told me to file a claim with the insurance but the insurance told me that termite damage is not covered (complete waste of my time). I immediately removed all of my items in storage and I spoke to the General Manager of the store. He told me to send him the details by e-mail, and so I did, but I never heard back from him. Currently in process of filing a Small Claim in Hillsborough County Civil Court.

    Don't rent from Cubesmart!! It's a big scam! I rented a storage unit for $211.00 then a few months later they increased it to $258.00 with no notice! They give you a few months so that you're all moved in then raise your rate, that way they think you won't want to hassle with moving out!! WHAT A SCAM!!

    This location in Brooklyn is the absolute worst. Constant rent hikes, racism, and thefts of items at your storage unit. Read my Google and Yelp reviews about this location. I’ve uploaded so much information about this location. STAY AWAY!!!

    I had a confirmed reservation to move the contents of an entire house into two storage units on a specific date. When I arrived, I was informed the facility had no electricity due to a scheduled installation of solar panels. I was given the option of (i) moving in with no lights, no elevator, and no way to open the loading bay doors, (ii) accepting an inferior set of storage units at another facility further way for double the contracted rent, or (iii) waiting a week for a district manager to call me back (she was on vacation).

    I made other storage arrangements and CubeSmart has refused to reimburse me for any excess costs. Their view is that it is the customer's obligation to ensure the facility is available and the customers assume the risk of all costs incurred due to the company not delivering its product. CubeSmart deliberately turned scheduled maintenance into an opportunity to blackmail a customer, which is a criminal act.

    I had a wonderful experience at CubeSmart from receiving a phone call to verify that I was going to need 2 5 x 5 units the day before. I spoke with Wanda, very helpful and great customer skills. She asks that I arrive on Saturday which I did. She provided me with paperwork but before that she showed me a unit that I would possibly rent. After the first unit I was sold. She explained everything in detail. We got back to office I signed my paperwork and then was immediately ready to move in. Wanda again, thank you for making it a seamless process for me. Keep up the great work. You rock!!

    I moved out of Cubesmart on April 26th and was told I would get a refund. Well as if May 18th nothing. I then was told by 3 different people the refund is in the mail. Now it's May 18th and I have received nothing. I received a email saying they would call me in 2 or 3 days, well that was 3 weeks ago and nothing. The main customer service is terrible. I give it zero points.

    This is the pits! I started with 88 dollars, the rent kept increasing with new fees. This was an outdoor, no climate control, with rats! There was rat crap inside of my storage unit! There was no tight seal on the door. It went to 138! Out of there! These storage units are a Rip off! Beware of higher cost and fees!

    After about 2 or 3 months they increase from $99 to $120 and after 10 days they have a 20% interest charge and they call every few days for their money. I wouldn't recommend CubeSmart because they're increases. If you are going to be more than a month or two I wouldn't get a storage room from them because they will probably just increase the price every couple of months p so it would probably be from $100 to over $200 in a year if they keep raising their rate plus 20% interest if you're late more than 10 days. I'm just going to try to get my stuff out as soon as possible and never rent there again. Hopefully I can find a storage place that won't raise rates for at least every year.

    A medical situation happen in my life. I understand my storage was past due so after 31 days they put a lien on my storage which I took care of but the thing of the nature the employee ** female kept stating in this neighborhood like the neighborhood has something to do what's situations and circumstances that's going on in people's lives. She was just rude and on top of that after paying taking off the lien I became current just to be informed that after 31 days not even up for auction they cut your lock off so you have to purchase another lock. That bad business because I think that's giving a heads up on the people that they know that's coming for the auction if it happens so they can have a head up of what's in your storage. Bad business, Please read your contract and I will not recommend this place to anyone.

    With CubeSmart my experience was not good at all. Every time I went to the office to pay my bill on the first of the month no one was never in the office Or on the premises so I had to make two trip a day to try and catch them or call and tell them I need to come up and make a payment and ask them will they be in office. They will tell me what time the date and time they will be there and what time to come and make the payment. It was a very bad experience. The open and closed hours cubesmart employees didn't honor not to mention without my consent they bought the company from Extra Space and sent me a contract that I never signed and agreed to the contract or consented to the contract.

    They stole my source data. I never rented from them. I was furious because this new company took over my contract without my permission and started the very next month doubling my rent from $75 dollars to $150 dollars. Then in six months it went again to $175 dollars and the next 6 months it was $202. Cubesmart is a ripoff.

    This manager here at this facility and the other three facilities in this area is completely unprofessional. There was no security lights here on the outside or inside the storage units for the first 3 months that I was here besides the fact the gate did not close. Now the gate closes but it sits at 12:00 a.m. and you can put a code in in any four numbers and get into this facility at any time night or day. The manager Alex is completely unprofessional and one night when I was moving my stuff into another storage unit because he refused to rent me another storage unit which is completely ridiculous since I had a 5x10 and I had a four bedroom house I was moving in here he came and chased off the workers that I hired to help me move all my things in here and then he put a red lock on it after he refused to rent me another unit. Cost me $1,800 in work because I own my own business.

    I don't do anything more than anybody else here. I come, I do my work, I get everything together to go to my next job. There's people that stay here 8 to 10 hours a day sleeping on the ground, working on motorcycles, all kinds of things, working on cars. It took me a month to move my things over here because my vehicle got stolen and so I had to use a bicycle and a trailer to get everything over here and he called that loitering. He is always on my butt for everything. He doesn't say anything to anyone else wants to show up on a Saturday night renting and Raymond and screaming and yelling like a crazy man at 8:00 at night. I had a job I was going to do for another customer in here and he canceled it because of him. He also told one of the people that were coming to buy a refrigerator for me that he wouldn't buy anything for me because it would be stolen.

    This man is completely out of control and now he's trying to evict me again in 10 days. There is no way I can leave in 10 days. I don't have the manpower or the vehicle to move my things and I'm also doing chemo on every Friday. These people are completely unprofessional. They do not care about their customers. They only care about what they want to do when they want to do it. This place is completely disgusting. It has trash everywhere. People come and go all hours of the night and day obviously with his permission.

    I would not rent from these people. After calling in eight times and trying to reach the district manager or talk to him twice he told me that he would get back with me and only got back with me one time every other time I had to chase him down and I still haven't heard from him and it's been a month and a half. They're totally in breach of contract for everything that's happened and I am not in the wrong for anything and I do not feel that I have to leave in 10 days. That is out of the question to be done in 10 days. If it took me a month to move my things here on a bike with the trailer do you think 10 days is going to give me anytime. The eviction notice that he gave me was not legal either. This is the second time that he's done this. I feel that he needs to be removed from his position or I'm going to sue this company and him for harassment.

    Beware! After selling our house in October 2022, we stored all of our belongings at this facility. In order to have the room we needed, they suggested the larger unit which was not climate controlled. After less than a year of everything being in there, we discovered pieces of furniture with some type of mold. We also had many items rusted, not to mention everything was filthy dirty. There must have been some kind of defect or issue with this particular unit, given the extent of the damage to numerous pieces of furniture, as well as many other assorted items. We even laid down rugs and moving blankets on the concrete floor as well as covering items with moving blankets and plastic. Some items survived; others did not.

    Upon contacting Cube Smart, we were advised that we had insurance as part of our monthly payment and they gave us information on filing a claim with their insurance company, Great American Insurance Group. The claims adjuster had us e-mail photos and answer many questions only to blow us off and declare that it was not covered. So essentially, the money from the monthly payment that goes to this company is useless. It benefits them and CubeSmart, not the consumer. We not only spent thousands of dollars on storage over the course of a year, we lost thousands of dollars worth of belongings and had to pay more money to dispose of everything that could not be salvaged.

    We also spoke with the regional manager for this location and he told us, "Sorry, but there's nothing we can do. Not our problem." It had to be something we did or didn't do or could have been something from an adjoining unit. Basically, too bad for you. Obviously, we will never use them again and will tell anyone and everyone that we know, NOT to use CubeSmart. But, especially Do Not store anything at this location. If I could give no stars and horrible as a rating, I would.

    CubeSmart is not secure, they allowed someone to break into my storage unit by peeling away cheap metal to get in. Many items rifled through, boxes open and emptied, Christmas presents still in the shipping packages were opened and stolen. This is devastating. No security, don't trust them with your belongings.
