What happens if I’m late making a payment?

Your monthly rent is due on the same day each month (the anniversary date of the rental). If you don't make your monthly rent payment within 5 days of its due date, you will be charged a late fee. Late fees will be assessed on or after the 6th day following the customer's paid-through date. For further details, please refer to your lease or contact your storage facility.


Late fees cannot be waived, and the full balance must be paid immediately to avoid foreclosure. No partial payments are accepted. Please also note that until your account is paid in full, access to your unit may be denied, your gate code access may be removed, and your unit will be over-locked. The late fees assessed vary according to state laws.

How long after my account is delinquent will my belongings go to auction?

The length of time for a past-due account to be placed in auction varies by state law. We recommend that you contact the facility manager to discuss your account as soon as possible if your payment is late. Extra Space Storage will provide written notice to your email address or physical address listed on your account, again depending on state law.

What happens if my belongings go to auction?

Once the unit is sold, the proceeds are applied to your outstanding balance. If the proceeds are higher than the amount due, a check for the difference will be sent to the person leasing the storage unit. If the proceeds are lower than the outstanding balance, the account will be sent to collections.
