Public Storage

Don’t select a storage place based on price alone.
I needed to move some items out of my house and store them until I could figure out what to do with them. i called around and this Public Storage location had the best price for the size unit I wanted.
When I went in to rent the unit, I was told there was an additional charge of $ 11/​month for insurance. Really? No one could have told me that over the phone, they had to wait until I loaded up my car and came in? My rent also went up $ 7/​month after six months, so I just moved all my stuff out.
The doors to these units are not sealed well. When I went to empty out my unit, there was dirt and leaf debris inside from the landscaping crew blowing leaves in the parking lot. There was also a packet of rat poison (that I did not put in) in the back of the unit that looked like it had been chewed on. Now I’m wondering if there’s a dead rodent somewhere in the stuff I moved out. Great.
If I wanted to store my stuff in a location where it would be dirty and have rodents get to it, I could have just put it in the shed in my backyard for free.
