Your business model is designed to add money in your pocket. You do not allow the monthly payments to be drafted from the customers’ account. It allows Affordable Storage to seep the late fees from the customers account without offering a monthly draw. AS knows this and you Reep the financial benefits. It is really sad the way AS takes the money from hard working individuals. I will never use AS ever again and inform others not to do the same. Affordable storage does not offer month by month options and they did not contact me and offer any sort of monthly payment options. Their business model is set up to take advantage of everyday people/ This is a horrible business model

Response from the owner · a month ago

After reviewing your account, we found that our property managers made multiple attempts to obtain your card information and assist with setting up monthly automatic payments. However, the payments on your account continued to be made manually through our website. We understand that late fees can be frustrating, but they are assessed when a payment is not received by the due date, in accordance with the terms of the rental agreement. We are always happy to assist customers with setting up automatic payments and answer any questions regarding their account.
