RE: Late Fees

I don't think we're technically supposed to share information on late fees between facilities, but I will say that any fee you charge should be able to be justified in front of a judge. Try to quantify the liquidated damages a late payment would cause your business in the form of lost revenue, outreach ...

We'll be sure to update this thread if we complete a Noke Ion install at one of our sites. We're really looking forward to the benefits it brings, but making the jump is daunting considering the price tag and the fundamental need for tenants to have access to their stuff in the off chance of a failure! ...

Hey Andy, I haven't had any direct experience with Noke, but have asked others their thoughts and I've received a mixed bag. I've also rented at facilities that had it to test it out and had no issues at all with the access points or Noke latch. Are you able to share your feedback on how they've been ...

I am also very interested to hear about this. We live in and operate a few facilities in Colorado, but the upcoming potential storm at our North Texas facility has got me more uneasy than the larger events we receive in Colorado. There's obviously less snow clearing ability (generally) for cities ...

Hi Mark, congrats on the new facility! That's very exciting. This might be a little too late for your grand opening, but I've used several property management software through the years. You have a handful to choose from, each with their pros and cons, and the devil is really in the details on how you ...

I agree with Justin. I've done three camera system installs now at our facilities. There is a use for wireless cameras, but if you had to choose between one or the other, wired is pretty much always the way to go. I used SCW (security camera warehouse at getscw.com) for our cameras and have been very ...

David, have you gotten any feedback or made the jump yourself? I'm curious as well. I definitely see the upside to it, but it's expensive. It's hard to make the leap of faith when the risk is high if you have to revert back!

Hi Kathy, The mobile friendly part was referring to the property management software. The software is browser based, so if I go to our internal website's URL on my mobile phone to manage the facility, it's really hard to use. The tenant's experience on our actual website to complete rentals, make online ...

As if on queue, I just received another subscription price increase notice from Storable for the same software we had years ago.

Buckle up - this is going to be a lengthy one! I can only speak on Sitelink Web Edition and Hummingbird by Tenant Inc. as I have no experience with Storedge. I'll start with Sitelink Web Edition since most operators have heard of it. I don't have any affiliation with either company - I've just grown ...

We have a facility that uses Hummingbird by Tenant Inc., and three that use Sitelink Web Edition. I'm happy to provide the good, bad, and ugly on both of them. I also have slight experience with WebSelfStorage by U-Haul. ------------------------------ Dominic Kickbush WF Self Storage, LLC. Wichita ...
