If You Don't Inspect Your Self Storage Facility, Your Customers Will (And They Won't Come Back!)

If You Don't Inspect Your Self Storage Facility, Your Customers Will (And They Won't Come Back!)

Self storage owners—your facility's condition determines whether customers stay or leave. If you're not regularly inspecting your property, your tenants are—and they notice the small details that you might overlook.

In this episode of 3 Mile Management Minute, I'll show you the most common maintenance issues that cause customers to leave—and the simple steps to keep your facility in top shape.

What You'll Learn:
  • The small problems that make customers question their decision to store with you
  • A simple weekly inspection routine that keeps your facility move-in ready
  • How to assign accountability so nothing falls through the cracks
