Narrative

The move of our storage, from Tustin to Anaheim, took place on February 7, 2026.  I had four family members and affiliates help me move.  The cost of the move using a moving company exceeded $1000.00.  With the help I was given the actual cost to move $446.57.  I moved from a 10x10 (Tustin) to a 10x13 (Anaheim).  I was hoping that Public Storage would keep my rent below $200 per month.  As of September 2026 they are billing $212.00 per month.  Standard price is $254.00 per month.  I sure hope it stops increasing at $212.00. The reasons I moved were that: Tustin is 20 miles away one way from where I live, they had increased my rent from like $120.00 per month to over $230.00 per month, and that PS Anaheim I can access walking.  I would like to go on the record for being grateful for my families help I could not have done it without them.  With their help we only needed to make one trip.  Every time I visit my new storage PS sends me a message to rate them.  I keep telling them that I cannot get the hands free option to open gates and doors to work.
