They also mentioned the starting rate is a promotional rate that the price can increase over time, that I had to have insurance and the $25 move in rate was only a one time fee. I apprecaite someone being up front with me. Some storages places do not even tell you that you will be getting any increases and it seems like such a shock. Affordable Family Storage sends you an email one month before the increase. This way it isn't a surprise.

We recently moved out after being a long time renter. We had a unit for over 5 years and…read moreconsistently kept auto billing on our account. Affordable Family Storage has changed management more than once in the past couple of years, one being to Cubesmart and temporarily rebranding. Affordable is, well... not so Affordable and length/term of renting is not valued by the company at all. Our unit rate was raised twice over the last 6 months. We started the year at $112, which was not awful given our beginning rate that was only modestly raised over the past couple years. February brought us a new rate of $128 which although, not fun... things have gotten more expensive. Fair enough. Now 30 days ago we got an email saying our rate would be going up to $166 which was $177.62 after taxes. I promptly contacted management and was told they were trying to make repairs and upgrades, but they didn't seem to have any interest in keeping our business at a more reasonable, market rate. Given the size of my unit (10 x 10) I submitted notice I would be moving and quickly found units double the size for what would be my new rate. I found one for far far less at a normal and not introductory rate elsewhere with temperature control and a much more well kept premise. On move out day, the temperature controlled area of the building was 85° and the handle to enter the facility was broken and hanging. Our latest unit was in the Snap Fitness annex which was originally leased to me as a 10 x 10 unit. After moving out and feeling our new facility was larger (it measured a full 10ft square....) our unit in the Snap annex was only 9ft and change deep with a narrow entry door. We can't recommend Affordable Family Storage at all. Not Affordable and your business is not valued.
