A tenant trying to live inside a unit does happen from time to time, and that is never easy on anyone, since it is a clear violation of health code and the lease and requires immediate action. In this case, the tenant had managed to build a psuedo house inside the unit, complete with a front door, window and window unit air conditioner! The manager discovered this during a drive-through of the facility at night, as the tenant was keeping things quiet and dark during the day. It's difficult to see, but yes, there is a roll-up door to the unit. At night the tenant was bold enough to leave it rolled up. Needless to say, the tenant was quickly evicted and the internal walls taken down.

Hello all.
A member recently shared this video of multiple cats and kittens (alive, thankfully) found in a customer's unit. That's a LOT of cats! The manager at this The Storage Place facility was doing his daily walk-throughs and heard the poor cats and kittens meowing. If the manager hadn't followed his normal routine this could have been a tragic story. The tenant was charged with animal cruelty and abandonment. What crazy (or sad) things have you discovered in a unit?
