Torrance Western Self Storage

I will NEVER rent from this place again. They do NOT prorate rent and although I gave them the required 10 days notice to vacate, I was still charged the full $ 96/​month fee for a 5×10 unit!
My rent was paid on the 1^st and I moved my appliances and other items out by the 5^th of June. That means they have a FULL MONTH’S rent from me and will likely rent that unit before the month is up, to get another fee on top of the one I PAID.
I asked Edwin if I could «gift» the remaining days to a new client or one that he knew of that needed additional space, I was told no. The only thing I could do was «gift» my remaining days to someone I know who needed the space. Well, I don’t know anyone that needed a storage unit.
Even a simple act of kindness was met with an obstacle. There are people walking in there EVERY DAY looking for a place to store their items. He could’ve very well called me when someone came in and I would’ve gladly gifted them the unit for the remaining days. I just didn’t want MY MONEY to go to waste.
Crooked/​unethical business practice (s) will not reap you rewards.

Zero Stars
If I could give Torrance Western Self Storage negative stars, I would! I’ve been renting a space here for 7+ months and rent has gone up 7%. When I asked the Manager, Mike Dahmen why there was an increase, his response, «Why does everything go up. When I asked if he knew this when I signed my lease, he said he did. And in fact, it will go up again in 7 months again. And yes, we knew this as well when you signed your lease. He also added that we did not need to disclose this. So going in, they knew they were going to raise the rent twice within the first 14 months. He said they all do it! It sounds like really bad business practices to know you are going raise the rents and not tell your clients about it! I would run as fast as I can from this place! They are very unethical and Mike Dahmen has zero personality and no sense of customer service. I would fire him right now if I were the owners. The other Manager has always been kind and courteous. Thank goodness he is there, otherwise Mike Dahmen would run this place into the ground!

The storage that i rented, was been stolen. I was not very happy to rent here and pay expensive amount every month and later can be stolen. I just found out that my padlock was changed and took all my very expensive stuff, washing machine, electric guitars, guitar case, computers, tools, and etc. manager mike told me that this is not the first time happens here that unit is been broken and stole the items. I am so pissed now.

Rented a 5’X10’ storage from this place from February to end of March 2014. I had my speakers, camera and computer parts etc stolen from this place. The padlock was most likely picked and the remaining items were re-​arranged so I won’t notice any difference.
