Safety First - HiVis
We all basically work in giant parking lots when out of the office. Posted signage is probably about 10-15 km/h (that's 6-10 m/h for my American friends out there). When you are out on the lot cleaning, showing lockers, doing lock check do you wear a high visibility vest? Is this something that is enforced where you work…

Cleaning up after your customer moves out
How or do you charge your departing tenant when they leave a big mess in their unit when they move out? Most tenants move out over the phone or by email or some just leave in the dark of night. Only about 10% come into the office. Our goal is to inspect the units but with a staff of one (most days) inspection of move outs'…

Monthly Headache
We raised our rent January of this year...sent out letters (and made phone calls) of course November of last year letting all the tenants know. Tenants calls me up February (after already paying the new price once in January) insisting I was a liar and she was only going to pay her old rate. She then told me I did not have…

EXIT SURVEY
I have used the Exit Survey in CRM before years ago but found it cumbersome to find the actual completed surveys, so I stopped using it. I'd like to start again but have a few questions. I see it in my Form Setup and in the CRM; however, where is the actual survey? Can I edit the survey? Is there an easy way to find the…

Speaking of Paperless...
There is another discussion about going paperless that I didn't want to hijack, so here is another question: We still keep leases and some (signed) credit card receipts in hard copy, but the facility owner is trying to be more paperless. Does anyone know of a way to use a signature pad with Sitelink for something like…

Merging Units in Sitelink Help
So at my property we have several units that are 10x20s that have dual entry. So the front is one # and the back is another. For example the front might be 24 but the back door is 65. In our system we have a name for unit #25 but it shows 65 as empty. Is there anyway to merge those units in sitelink so that "65" isn't…

Automatic Online AVS?? Anyone else running into this problem?
Our storage facility brand new and completely virtual. Tenants sign up
and pay using our website. The website then sends the information over to site link which automatically
assigns them gate access and processes the first payment. The issue we have
found is that the first transition is not AVS verified and therefor is…

Online payments/accounts & password restrictions
I just had a new customer come by with issues creating the online SMD account for payments etc. He kept getting a failure to register message and didn't know why. He wants to use a randomly generated 30 character password, and it seems that is the problem. I used a simpler password and created his account. He's a software…

Slow weekends
Anyone else running a site that seems to go against the normal routine and end up being slower during the weekend versus the week? In 8 years i've never had a site that the weekend wasn't the busy time, Saturdays were usually rental central and even Sundays would be busier than weekdays. Here in Stockton it seems our…

Looking for input from anyone who has had or does have electric hook-ups for their RV spaces. How much extra do you charge compared to your spaces without electric hook-ups?

What's your strangest customer?
I'm sure we've all seen a few zingers. My personal best so far was the warlock. He wanted a unit he could cook his "brews" in. When I told him we don't allow open flames in the unit, he cursed me with some kind of dried claw thing. Later found out he's known to the police in the area for being a general troublemaker, and…

Reminders Section on Home Screen
Under the Reminders section on the home screen I have a subtopic "Service Required" listed with a 1. I assume one item requires some type of service. Clicking on Service Required takes me to the Modify Units page. Can't find anything on this screen that needs service. What am I missing?

Staff sign off
Hi SiteLink world. A simple question I hope, When sending letters to customers, my full name is displayed in the letter? I value my privacy and, health and safety, especially if I ever come across an upset or angry customer. Is this the same for everyone out there? I will assume it is a simple code fix? Thanks

When will hollywood and games appreciate self storage?
Not really sure what section this would go in since there isn't a basic general discussion area. My wife loves zombie type movies, I play a lot of games with similar stories where you have to "loot" your area to find items to survive such as The Walking Dead. Why is it you never see anyone rummaging through a storage…

As the title says.. curious if any companies are looking for a resident manager couple? Getting pretty tired of dealing with unethical ownership. Edit: they've ruined storage all together for my wife so she no longer wants to be in the industry so just a single manager.

MyHub Reporting
I've recently discovered the myHub Reporting. This is great if you have multiple facilities as you can view reporting for these at any terminal with access to the internet and toggling between each facility is more convenient than with Sitelink Web edition. However, this morning I discovered a drawback. The reporting did…
