      October 25, 2024 Paid $101.35 for the initial move in.Cubesmart was to provide me with an access code to enter the storage area on October 26, 2024. I was told to stop and speak with the store manager to receive the code but the office was closed and no one was there. I waited for almost an hour and due to time constraints I had to go to a different storage facility where I received instant service. Cubesmart is not working to refund my rental amount.

      I have for the last month been contacting the district manager and store managers in regards to the elevator being down because it has been down for over a month now. We were trying to move out have my salon stuff to my new salon and aren't able to do it because of the elevator being down which is a huge inconvenience. I have since escalated it up to the divisional manager but haven't gotten a response yet. Here we are at another month and payment is due and they have already charged me a late fee and sent me a notice in regards to raising the rental price of my unit but still no updates on the elevator in regards to when it will be repaired so we can move are stuff. This beyond crazy to have a storage unit and can't even move the stuff out because it is on the second floor and the stair well is absolutely disgusting. This storage location is beyond filthy. Not to mention I have mentioned several times that I can't see inside my storage unit because the light went out over my unit and they said they are not replacing them. They said they have sensor light down the aisle. And they do but they just cut off in 20 seconds so you have to keep walking down to the end of the hallway just to activate them to cut back on. And for over a month I have had to carry my salon stuff up and down the stairs which is extremely heavy for me because I am not supposed to be lifting over 15 pounds because of my health conditions. I have loss so much money because of being of my things being trapped in this storage. I feel like they need to give me and everyone else a month free for the inconvenience because it is their fault

      11-2-2024,I was charged ******, but should've only been ******. Cubesmart overcharged and owes me *****. They charged a late fee a day earlier than usual. I pay most months on the second and I wasn't charged a late fee. I know the number of days fluctuate every month, but I paid August 2nd, 2024 and I wasn't charged a late fee and July had 31 days.

      I am two months behind in my rental fees. They are charging me $30 late fee on rent that is only 160. I was told rental late fees can't be more than 10% of the rent. And a additional 120 lien fee because they said the state charges them $120 for them to put a lien on my property but I am not facing a auction until January 2025. How does that make any sense. I asked for proof and I'm only 2 months behind. I have been 2 months behind before and never had to pay a extra $120. It is stopping me from getting my storage out of the negative.

      I have called twice and requested to speak to the district manager about my bill. I have wanted to know I have not received a break of my bill describing why I am being charged the extra $120. Instead it is just added to my bill. I pay $160 a month and I am being charged 2 additional $30 late fee on top of $ 120 for what. Can I please get a detail description bill. I also cannot pay my bill on line. It says I have to come in. I had foot surgery. I cannot pay half the bill. I have to pay all. I tried to pay my bill when it was 2 months but the district manager never called me. I wanted to see if I could pay over the phone and make arrangements to have my things removed. I never got the callback I was promised. It is like they want procession of my property because they are ignoring all my attempts of contact. My phone # is ************

      My family rents a climate controlled unit (F638) at the Cubesmart location at ************************************. On Saturday, October 12, 2024 we went to the unit to clear out somethings and organize stuff for our move next month. When we walked into the building, it was extremely warm and there was a terrible smell in the air. We opened our unit to find dead rats, lots of rat pellets and strong ammonia odor from rat pee. ****** came back, looked at our unit, and said there was a rat infestation in this building because another tenant who stored MREs there. She stated she did not feel like it was necessary because they did not think the rats went anywhere else so no tenants were notified of infestation.I also phoned customer service to alert them of the situation. I spoke with **** and he said he would escalate this matter and I would be hearing from a district manager regarding this matter and possible compensation.All my stuff was unsalvageable, the rats pooped, peed, chewed and died in every bin. We had on gloves and masks but the smell from the rat pee had our eyes burning and we had to take several breaks. The smell is rampant and coming from other units nearby as well. After clearing the unit out I went to front office to let ****** know to terminate my lease. At around 5pm on Saturday, October 12, 2024, ****** sends an email stating there was food in my storage unit and this violated lease agreement. She attached pictures with one crumbled Cheetos and a cheese stick wrapping.I then phoned customer service again and spoke with ***. She apologized for the situation, said she would send more notes and she proceeded to give me the case number (Case number ******* on 10/12/2024) then name, and phone number of the district manager (******-************). i spoke with ****** on sunday but I have not heard back from him yet. I probably have paid over $25,000 in rental fees to them and I had approximately $10,000 worth of the goods in that unit.

      I have four storage units at this facility and I have been charged for 5 for the last three months After discovering this I engaged in a lengthy, robust disccussion regarding the matter and looking to have the issue resolved I have been sent to numerous people in the company, being promised that someone one from managment would get back to me. It has been a week and no one has contacted me as of yet. My account is continually being debit after I tried to put a stop to it. As a result the account is over drawn and as recently as last night 10/14 the company attempted to debit my account for another $528.40 and was declined for insuffecient funds.Inaddition as stated the overpayment of a unit that I have never occupied I am still being charged for. I need help!

      I have a storage at this location. The storage sent out an email on 9/30 saying the storage is temporarily closed and no one is able to access the location. It is now 10/14 and no one is still able to get into there storage. I have called several times and they keep saying the power is out and no one is still able to access the storages. She also stated they dont have a date as to when GA Power will be able to come and get the power on. I have important things in my storage that I need to get out. I was looking at the local news and on October 9th a man was arrested for breaking into several of the storages. This is not right. I am paying to have my things stored and now I cant even get into it when I need to. I had a very important meeting I needed to attend but couldnt because I needed some things out of my storage. This is wrong and the company should pay for this. This is very unprofessional.

      I did speak to them. I overreacted a little bit because I have $13,000 in that storage unit and I thought they had did it without me knowing and theyve had break-in so I was freaked out but when I talk to them, they didnt cut my lock and they had security there and nothing was damaged. I am moving out, but I dont wish to pursue anything against them Although their prices are too high. Thats why moving $174. Ive been there for years I fight them every year and get $10 off but Im moving to a unit same size much bigger as far as the area its only $98.

      Storage renters have been unable to access our storage units since approximately 9/28/2024. Cubesmart has sent emails indicating the storage is inaccessible due to hurricane ******. However everyone else in *****, Ga has power. I feel that whatever their issue is has nothing to do with the hurricane. I need immediate access to my storage unit as I am moving on Friday, October 11th. I have called them several times to find out what they plan to do as a work around so that I have access but they dont offer any solutions. I asked them to get a generator so the it would power the door to give us access. But they havent done that either. All of my belongings are in that storage unit and I need it all to move. Please help!
