    Be ready for the biggest lawsuit you'll ever face because you locked my CPAP machine in my unit and I could not get to it. Why you put the extra lock on it when I already already paid up. You will be giving me a refund. And I am going to take you to court to sue you cause you had no reason you had no right to lock my unit up. And when you did that I was without my CPAP for a whole 5 days.. Get ready!!!!

    Rented a unit at the Farmington, MI location for 3 years. Yes, the price increased regularly but I did not deduct any stars from the rating because EVERY storage unit company does that and they did provide advance warning. The customer service is awesome, friendly, helpful, accommodating, will work with you on late payments. I vacated today and there was mouse poop on my storage containers but again, that happens in all outdoor-access storage units. Moved to a unit closer to home, was going to go with Public Storage but their customer service is awful and they are very unprofessional and unorganized so I went to another Extra Space location in Lincoln Park, MI, and rented there. That location is great as well.

    Moving out of our home while waiting for our new house has already been a stressful process. We had help for one day and were working quickly to get everything completed. We needed a 20x20 unit, and Extra Space Storage had one available in town. We booked the unit. When we arrived, we discovered it was actually two 10x10 units combined. We were given two locks keyed the same and were asked to retrieve the black bags containing the original locks from inside the units and return them to the office. We were accustomed to having staff show us the units, but instead were only told where to go.

    We unloaded everything and finished late in the day. The units were locked and secured. The following day, when we returned to unload a few lighter items, we realized that we had mistakenly placed our belongings in the wrong unit. Rather than ignoring the mistake, we immediately went to the office to address it. We were told to return the next day because the manager was not in and it was “her store.” When we called the next day, we were informed that we would need to move the contents to the correct unit and were given two days to complete the transfer due to system limitations. We are now scrambling to arrange help again to move everything within their deadline. It is disappointing that a minor administrative adjustment could not be handled internally, especially given the circumstances. I would not recommend this facility if you require a unit larger than 10x10.

    I got a small unit started off at 80 a month then a couple months later went up 131. Been there a couple times to get things out of unit. I had my own lock and keys then went in Dec 19 to pay bill then Jan go pay my unit online and my bill was 196. I paid it and called the following day asking why almost 60 dollars more and they said my lock was broken in which when I went last it was fine. Even double checked it before leaving making sure it was locked. But according to them it was broken and so they charged me for their lock and mailing fees for the keys but yet haven't received nothing in mail.

    So I got no access to my storage and they also said my unit had their lock for a couple months now before when I went to storage and paid in December and if so why didn't they tell me then about the lock cause they gotta pull up my records and it should say there but never mentioned anything to me and yet still got no access to storage. Never received keys so I was charged without my permission or notification for their lock and mailing fees that they mailed the keys. Altogether 60 dollars I was charged and no access to my belongings.. Something just ain't right..

    I had a move out scheduled for 1/31 and payment for next next month wasn’t due until 2/1. I moved out as scheduled of unit C234 and left a VM as no one answered my call. Today (2/1) the account says delinquent and overdue. I cancelled because of bait and switch pricing. I rented 2 units before I realized that they increase rates dramatically after 4 months. Our “warning,” was an odd postcard mailed to our address. Every other communication method has been via email and text. In fact, when I went on the website/my account it said next payment due 2/1, but never said the amount. Which was $112. When I rented the unit it was $58 with no Indication that this was only for a promotional period. My other unit went from $95 or so to $123, also on the 5th month.

    I never fully utilized c234 due to this barely-communicated price hike, so I demanded some type of credit on my account for the money I wasted on unit c234 due to false advertising. I have not heard back yet. Truly appalling business practices and now the class actions make sense. I have never been this disappointed in a company’s lack of ethics.

    - Unhelpful, condescending manager.
    - Bathroom door doesn’t lock correctly, and the manager said she couldn’t do anything about it. I told her I was upset because I use my unit after hours and do not have access to the bathroom. She just said, “I’m sorry you feel that way.”
    - Duct tape was used to “fix” the door that was stuck open- it’s been an ongoing issue.
    - I have rented this unit for 3.5 years with zero payment issues. My corporate card was compromised and I communicated to the manager that I was waiting on the new one for payment. They still put a different lock on my unit and blocked my password for entering the facility.

    - I was told that my contact somehow randomly changed. The manager told me I was no longer able to ship or receive UPS packages to and from my unit. Even though I have a contact with UPS stating they have permission to access my unit when I am not there. I asked for documentation of this new rule and the manager said, “This is your verbal notice”.

    Then I asked for a phone number to call, and she said, “I cannot give you a number.”
    -The mangers answer for all of my concerns is always, “I’m sorry you feel that way.”
    - Monthly rent of this unit is almost $700.

    - This is the worst customer service I’ve ever experienced.

    Disturbing that Management on ALL levels shows an extreme lack of professionalism. On site manager was belligerent and refused to refund/credit a lock I did not open, after being in the unit less than 30 days. He also refused to close my unit out when I was on the premises, because he wanted to show he had the upper hand. He absolutely refused to do his job, and because I did not agree with his treatment of me, he gaslight me. I had to call the 800 number customer service to close my unit. Upper management did not adhere to their 48 hour deadline to address customer service issues, and after multiple calls still are still ignoring me. I can’t trust my belongings or my money at Extra Space Storage because of lack of management accountability and game playing. Sad that such a nice facility is ruined my Management.

    3 months into my rental I learned of that the "promotional rate is expiring", and the price is going up to from around $35 to $70. Apparently the "promotional" rate is discussed somewhere in the contract. I am typically concerned about such arrangements, but somehow missed this, making me suspicious about their transparency. Regardless this is deceptive. Why double the price in 3 months unless you anticipate that you can "catch" those less suspecting?

    This company ran a bait and switch promotion. They signed us up at $91 a month. After 3 months, they sent a notification that seemingly said nothing of importance, but in the small print, stated the rates were going up to $171 a month. DO NOT TRUST this company. I called their rep and she stated that they made this abundantly clear that this was a short-term temporary promotion. Upon reviewing the contract, that it is a lie.

    Within the 1st year there was a $160 increase in the rent. They are definitely a bait and switch and this is after I had to quickly move due to a natural disaster. Also after 7 days, my unit assesses a $60 late fee. I’m usually not late but I've suffered due to a reduce in hours at work. Not customer friendly at all and as far as pricing, yeah rate is low but after that introductory rate, they literally try to kill ya! Wouldn’t recommend them to my worst enemy.

    I was with this storage facility location for almost 5 years when it was Life Storage. Excellent company and management. Then Extra Space bought them out and took this facility over, not only did they jack the rates up leaving customers feeling like their belongings are held hostage if you don't pay it because they know either you can't afford to move out but you can no longer afford the rate increases. They have not properly managed the facility. There has been an increase in roaches, an increase in security lapses and issues, an increase in broken doors just to mention a few.

    Seems like every month they are increasing the rent. I was originally renting a very small unit that was $44. After about a year it had climbed to $90/ month. I called about this and was told I could get a larger one for the same price. Sounded good so I said ok. Moved into the new unit in October, made my January payment and my bill for next month, February is $151! I 1st got the storage unit because it was $44/ month, something I could afford. In 2 years going from $44 to $151 is ridiculous. I've given my notice and will be moving my stuff out this month.

    Not sure about the Bay Area but I am a customer at Extra Space Storage in Loomis California and they are aware of a rodent/mouse/rat infestation in customers units but REFUSE to compensate customers for the hours and hours they will have to spend standing in the rain cleaning mouse urine and feces off of their belongings. This seems to be a company wide policy so I would avoid ALL Extra Space Storage locations since the rot seems to come from corporate.

    They have been aware of the mice infestation and rodent damage for weeks but have NOT alerted the customers in the vicinity to the fact that their belongings are now contaminated by urine and feces and possibly damaged from the mice. If you did not buy their insurance, well you are out of luck (though your rental agreement does say that they are not responsible except in cases of GROSS NEGLIGENCE which seems to be the case when they did not bother to even attempt to seal their units against the elements, with open gaps near the roofs to invite rodents in. They did not tell me when they knew of the infestation and they have even had to switch pest control companies due to lack of control of the situation.

    With all of this the manager, Carla, was very helpful and seemed to want to make this right but unfortunately she did not have the authority, so her DTL Abby ** called me and told me that she wanted to have a pest control company treat my unit in depth so that I did not transfer the vermin to a different unit if I moved (I was interested in moving to the new type of units that they have which are not part of their poor quality buildings but separate pods that ARE designed to help keep your belongings safe from outside elements). Abby avoided making me an offer or deal on a different unit and when I pointed out that this clean up and having to move units is going to waste hours and hours of my time, Abby refused to comp a couple of months of rent to help offset my time loss.

    It is the worst nightmare of ours to have used the service from Extra Space Storage Inc. and later dealt with the company’s rude and ignoring personnel/ staff regarding their unethical and likely illegal act of auction of our memorable and precious family items stored at one of the Extra Space Storage units at San Diego. Briefly, we have stored our family items since June, 2017 and been paying the annual fees regularly including the year of 2024-2025.

    Astonishingly, when my husband went to the San Diego storage unit to check the items this July, the unit manager told him that all of our stored items had been auctioned in March since we did not pay the company for the year of 2024-2025 and they could not reach us by email or phone (which were not true at all). When my husband asked about more details, the manager’s attitude was rude and insisting that he would only discuss with me, the registrant, despite of my husband telling him that I had been a sick person living over in Taiwan.

    Under this circumstance, we wrote letters outlining the incident in details and sent by emails to the officials of the company (Joseph Margolis jmargolis@extraspace.com and Gwyn McNeal (gwyn@extraspace.com) as well as by airmails to the company office at Utah, the Ethics Commission at San Diego, and the CA Attorney General. While the CA Attorney General Mr. Rob Bonta kindly responded and suggested us to take the legal approaches, no replies/ responses at all from any of the company officials and lawyers.

    While we are still considering what actions we could/ should take in order to get at least some of our memorable/ precious family items back, we now write this open complaint on the website. Hopefully, it would alert the potential storage place-seekers so you don’t risk losing your memorable and precious family items by using the service from Extra Space Storage Inc.

    They get you in with cheap prices and after a few months they start charging double. The explanation is that they can change rates at any time and due to comparable rates in the area, this is the reason for the increase. BUT, new units are still listed at the cheaper prices. Do not rent from them unless you know it's only for a few months.
