Avoid the Hassle: Understanding Late Fees, Lockouts, and the Benefits of Recurring Payments at Harwich Self Storage
At Harwich Self Storage, we understand that life gets busy. Between work, family, and errands, it’s easy to forget a due date here or there. But when it comes to your storage unit, forgetting a payment can lead to unwanted stress — like late fees or even a temporary lockout.
Let’s break down how our billing works and how you can avoid unnecessary hassles by setting up recurring credit card payments.
Our rental agreements include a due date, typically the first of the month. If payment isn’t received on time, a late fee is applied. This fee helps cover administrative costs and keeps operations running smoothly for all customers.
We also send reminder emails or texts, but if payment is still not made, your unit may be overlocked for security. That means you won’t be able to access your items until the balance is paid in full.
A lockout is a temporary measure that restricts access to your unit if your account becomes past due. It's not personal — it’s a standard policy designed to protect your belongings and ensure everyone stays current with their payments.
Want to never worry about due dates, late fees, or lockouts again? The solution is simple: sign up for recurring credit card payments.
Here’s why it’s the smart move:
✅ Stress-Free: No need to remember to log in every month.
✅ No Late Fees: Your payment is processed automatically on time.
✅ No Lockouts: You’ll always have access to your unit.
