Subject: Storage unit cancellation
Hi,
I have been hiring one of your self-storage units for over a year. It is unit number 62. On March 1, I will move into a new home. It has a large basement and double garage; therefore, I will no longer need to rent the unit.
On the contract that I signed, I agreed to pay the monthly fee of $165 on the 25th of each month. I also paid a $165 deposit.
I would like to know if I can vacate the storage unit on March 1 and pay for an additional week.If this is not possible, I will vacate the unit on the day the payment is due and find an alternatestorage solution for the week before the move.
Regards,
Jillian Vaughn
