Public Storage Informative - Inching Costs - Storage Unit
Storage Unit
MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN -- The facility is neat and clean. The staff is nice as well.
It's the increasing costs and service charges that annoy once you are there.
The flat monthly rental increases constantly. Nothing improves or gets better, only the rental changes. Be sure to try to get a commitment for a given term, because a month notice that increases your rate 5 to 7 1/2% with little notice is common.
Late fees are another thing. The number of days allowed continues to shrink. You are brought aboard at perhaps 10 days and before you know it the allowed time is 6 or 7.
Your options are to move or pay up.

I agree. They do keep inching up thier prices and I really want to look for an alternative. The only thing really stopping me is; that's a lot of heave stuff to move out. I think that's why they can get away with it. Going to a competitor takes a lot of effort for the customer.

We used Public Stores in between moves, and paid 6 months in advance, so no upping charges and fee's because we paid in advance.
It may be an option to consider. Or as you said, pay up or move out which is a hassale also.
