In general, the storage rental business is run by a bunch of soulless, mercenary money grubbers and this one is no different. First they depersonalize it so they can hide behind excuses like, "It's the computer, there's nothing I can do about it." Then, greedily, they aren't satisfied with collecting the monthly rent but they squeeze an extra payment every year by making you pay every 4 weeks. I wonder how long before they charge the same for 3 weeks, probably not too long. So now your payment is on a different date every month and so easy to forget. They wait until you are a day behind and they ding you with late fees, no, sorry, they're not that bad, they wait 2 days. And then, at several more points through the month, they arbitrarily add on more and larger late fees, so that, if they were annualized you'd be paying over 100% interest on your "loan". They get around our toothless usury laws by calling them fees instead of interest. But don't worry, you won't have to endure this for a year or anywhere near that. If you have a bad month (or 4 weeks, or whatever), they start court proceedings to seize all the assets you have in storage and auction them off to the vultures that are circling. When I die I hope I go to heaven because I can't stand the thought of spending eternity with all these storage locker moguls.. read more
