Self storage owners—customers will pay higher rates if they believe they’re getting more value.

Most owners hesitate to raise rates because they’re afraid of losing tenants. But here’s the truth:

  • People don’t leave over small price increases. They leave when they feel like they’re overpaying for a bad experience.
  • Your competitors are already raising rates—and still filling units.
  • The key isn’t price—it’s perceived value.

In this episode of 3 Minutes with 3 Mile, I’ll show you how to raise rates the right way—without pushing tenants out.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Why tenants accept rent increases when they see value
  • The three factors that make people willing to pay more
  • A step-by-step strategy to increase rates without losing customers
