    I use Sparefoot for the advertising of storage units. Sparefoot charges 2 months rent for each booking they give me. When I signed up, I was told I would not have to pay for short term renters (renters that would stay less than two months) because "That wouldn't make sense and they want this to be a Win-Win" Situation. When I started receiving short term renters from Sparefoot, I called again to confirm that I would not be charged for accepting tenants staying less than 2 months. The Sparefoot employee confirmed that I had the correct information and that I could go ahead and book them. Now they are saying it is policy to charge for any rentals they send to me regardless of short-term or not. Even after confirming that their employee had given me false information Sparefoot refused to retract any of the charges. Here was our last email interaction that confirms that statement. 3:29 PM (1 hour ago)to Storable Hey ***, I know we just got off the phone. But Im still reeling Im just going to clarify this one more time, bc I feel like this is so wrong of Sparefoot even having a confession from an employee, stating he gave me misinformation about short term bookings, you all will do nothing to help accommodate us? There is no one else we could escalate this case to? Again, I would NEVER have booked those short term rentals had I not been told I wouldnt be charged for short term renters. Is there seriously NOTHING else I can do? Thanks,********************* MV Storage Storable Support 3:32 PM (1 hour ago)to me Hello ******,Unfortunately there is nothing more we can do - I already brought this to the attention of my lead/manager who stated that the charges would not be discounted/waived despite the scenario. I apologize for the inconvenience.Thank you,*** | Storable Support

    It's frustrating for small property owners to deal with excessive fees, such as a two-month charge just to list our properties on the website. Moreover, we've encountered issues with receiving inaccurate information regarding rental reservations, which has led to fake bookings. Additionally, the platform imposes an additional fee on property owners for non-move-ins when the percentage is below 50%, essentially profiting from unsuccessful reservations. When raising concerns, their response often boils down to 'sorry, that's our policy,' unless you want to integrate with selected software and pay a huge monthly fee. bad business practices and rip off.
