A-1 Self Storage

Never had any problems until the past week. I was in building 5 unit 579A 6-26-24 I got a call from the property manager, Jasmine. I was notified that my storage unit "was tampered with and it looks like they weren't able to get in". At the end of the call she stated that she needed a key on file to work on getting the door fixed. I came in and talked to Jasmine and again insisted to have the key on file. Before I gave my key, I went to my unit just to check it out. I asked if there were any other units that were tampered with and she said that mine was the only one. I thought that was quite strange I went to my unit and I saw my unit was tampered with (they tried to pry the door open). I opened my unit and I saw everything was rummaged through. My bike and my camera were stolen. I was quite furious from what I saw and what was taken so I just locked up and went back to the front desk. I told Jasmine that my unit was broken in. I asked if I could see any video footage but I wasn't covered or insured so there's nothing I or A1 Storage could really do about it and that I would need to file a police report. There was not much sympathy but didn't think too much about it. I asked about when they would fix the door and she said it will be sometime within the week. Before I gave my key, I went back to my unit and took other valuables that they missed. I also put everything back and organized what was went through, locked up and went back to the office to hand Jasmine my key. I told her that the thing that was off was how they were able to lock the door with the metal shaft bent and my locks still in place 6-30-24 I came back around 6pm with my mom to my storage unit check my unit again just to take what other things that I could gather. After opening it up, my unit was rummaged through again. The door, lock/shaft looked to be the same as it was. It just boggled my mind how they were able to put it back without unlocking it. At this time I didn't want to assume but I was thinking maybe it was an inside job since they had my key and that I was told mine was the only one that was broken into. I was curious so I walked down neighboring units and I noticed a handful of units had their metal shafts cut open. My mom was worried for me so that's when I decided to just move out. Since it was already late, I thought to just do that the next day 7-1-24 I went into the office around 9am. The front door was closed and I called the number that was left on the door since it said they are on the property. Jasmine picked up and said that she'll be at the front desk shortly. She came in and she asked if I was the one that just called and showed me the red tag (tampered units). Seems like she remembers me from the week prior. I told her that my unit was broken into again. Again, no sympathy whatsoever, but I didn't need it. I then told her that there were 4 to 6 units that were broken into with the shafts cut. She looked frantic about the whole situation but who wouldn't if you're the only one managing the place. I asked if I could move out today and not be charged for the next month's rent since it is the 1st day of the month. She said I'm more than welcome to if I don't feel safe here. I was going to rate this place 0 stars but I thought granting me this deserved at least 1 star I started gathering my things and saw Jasmine, herself, working on replacing the shafts on the broken-into units. Made me wonder if she also calls the customers saying it looked like your door was tampered with but weren't able to get in I came across like 3 other people the day I moved out. I mentioned to them to be careful with the recent break-ins. I was glad I told them about it because they should know. However, Jasmine confronted me and asked me if I'm telling customers about the break-ins to not to do that because "it makes us look bad". Well, maybe they should have done a better job at securing the place. Btw, they should have door locks at the entry door of each building. I highly recommend to consider looking elsewhere

This place is so clean, quiet and calm. The storage units are well kept up with and clean. Jasmin helped me out today and immediately greeted me with a smile she was very informative and friendly. She knew exactly what I needed and when I saw the storage unit it met all my needs! Thank you Jasmin!!

Moved out, informed them I was out, unit was perfectly clean, and of course they continued to charge me for unit. Find a more ethical location, not worth the hassle at the end. Never sign up to autopay!!!!
