It would not surprise me if any number of model train enthusiasts have some of their collection, or the empty boxes per Eric's Trains in storage units.
After having a storage unit for 3 months with the intro/teaser rate I received a post card today that said that my rent rate was increasing 50%.
I went on line and gave my move out notice. If not for the fact that the move out date was recorded incorrectly as 06/09 rather than the 07/09 that I entered; a phone call to the unit location would not have occurred.
The nice person heard my polite but firm statement that the increase was usury at the very least and unacceptable, they replied, let me see what I can do for you.
My new monthly rate was to be $185. However the same sized unit for a new customers was $30 per month less.
Abracadabra suddenly my cost per month dropped to $145 owing to my senior senile discount.
I accepted the more reasonable increase at least for another month as a move out by 7/09 was not that convenient.
So there is my cautionary tale to those with storage units for their trains or anything else. Don't accept the 30 day rate increase notice as gospel.
