              Rented my daughter a storage unit at the Tenderloin district location *************, for over a year i was able to sign in and put things in my daughters storage. Up to today that was the case but now I have been told i can no longer have access to her storage due to someone vandalized the units and wrote very distasteful things on her door and I believe other units as well at least thats what I was told, my daughter is struggling to make ends meet and most of the time I pay the monthly rent for the unit and prior to this, upon signing all the documents when first securing the unit was told i can have access and it was customary for the person renting a unit, a guess is allowed so i dont understand and speaking with the manager it was oh well thats my decision so i have no other recourse but to file this complaint.

              The young lady that us there basically all the time left with the many issues this place is experiencing. She really tries but she needs help. The owner is absentee I have met him and he tried to push his weight around. The storage is often closed when it says it's open. It's not a really rowdy place and the girl does a good job. But it's not open often and has caused me to lose money over having to carry my bags with me. I plan to seek damages.
