Break-in, No Security Evidence & No Management Accountability – XtraSpace Johannesburg South Africa
Company: XtraSpace Self Storage Branch: New Market Park / Alberton (Johannesburg Region) Rating: ⭐☆☆☆☆ (1/5) SERIOUS SECURITY FAILURE, POOR MANAGEMENT RESPONSE & NO ACCOUNTABILITY I am posting this review to formally raise awareness regarding my experience with XtraSpace following a break-in and loss of items at their facility in the Johannesburg region. 🔒 SECURITY CONCERNS The incident has highlighted several concerning issues relating to the facility’s security: No reliable CCTV coverage in key areas, despite security being imp**** as part of the service No clear or verifiable access control records to determine who entered the premises A system that appears to rely on manual logbooks and access tags, which do not provide sufficient accountability Concerns regarding perimeter control, with areas that appear accessible without strict monitoring As a paying customer over an extended period, I reasonably expected a secure environment. These gaps raise serious concerns about how incidents can occur without traceability. 📞 POOR COMMUNICATION & CLIENT CARE Equally concerning has been the manner in which this matter has been handled: Delayed or no responses to emails, despite follow-ups No proactive updates provided at any stage No direct engagement from senior or regional management A lack of urgency, despite the seriousness of a reported break-in At no point was there meaningful communication demonstrating accountability or concern for the customer. 👥 MANAGEMENT & INVESTIGATION CONCERNS Feedback received appears to be based on internal discussions only, without independent verification No formal site inspection or engagement from regional leadership within Johannesburg Responses referencing investigations have not been supported by evidence, reports, or transparency This creates the impression that the matter is being handled internally without proper oversight or objectivity. ⚖️ EXPECTATION VS REALITY Customers are charged monthly fees, which reasonably creates the expectation of: Adequate security measures Proper incident investigation Transparent and professional customer communication Unfortunately, my experience reflects the opposite. 📢 FINAL POSITION I have formally requested escalation to regional management and a detailed response addressing: Security failures Access control gaps Accountability for the incident Should this not be resolved appropriately, I will continue to pursue the matter through: Consumer platforms Relevant complaint bodies Legal channels where necessary ⚠️ DISCLAIMER This review reflects my personal experience and is based on factual events and correspondence. No personal information of staff members has been disclosed, in accordance with the Protection of Personal Information Act.

Refrain from using Xtra Space Pamona Kempton Park
****mers to the core, when a payment is overlapped and you request payment outstanding statement and settle it, this Organisation tried its outmost to come with ********* amounts to pay keep sending to you. Any relocating and looking for storage, look away and don’t fall into the ditch like I did and you will be miles away to go to their offices to get an Face to Face explanation.

Excellent Service - XtraSpace Selfstorage - Brakpan Branch
The service that I have received from Lennora Niemand from XtraSpace Brakpan has been exceptional. She is very friendly and extremely helpful. I have never received such great service from any service provider! From the day that I started using their facilities until I moved into my new house, she has been most helpful and accommodating. Lennora - it was an absolute pleasure to work with you, thank you very much. Regards, Marcel.

XTRASPACE - DISHONESTY
I rented a storage unit from Xtraspace in Brakpan, as from 2018/07 up until 2020/08. All my payments were up to date at the time of vacating the unit. I also submitted my notice of vacating in time and it was accepted by the Lennora Niemand, the site manager. At the time of giving my notice, I was also informed by Lennora Niemand that I won't have to pay any additional costs for September, including the rental as I my notice was received on time. It had also been arranged with Head Office as well. However, after vacating the unit, I received an invoice for September and October storage & for late payment fees. Although I was no longer renting the unit. And then, Xtraspace only offered me a deposit refund of R250-00 from my initial deposit of R1240-00. I queried why I was only getting an amount of R250-00 as deposit refund compared to my initial deposit of R1240-00. I was informed that it was for the storage costs of September. I couldn't believe it as it was communicated to me twice that I won't have to pay anything for the storage of September. And here they are charging me, not what I was told. I want to bring this to other people's attention that Xtraspace is NOT honest in their services and one can not trust them. Up until today, I haven't received my deposit and I'm really disappointed in their dishonest services. If I can warn others not to deal with a business such as this and rather look for a honest storage business that still has morals and truthful when it comes to their services and business. A business that's honest in their services, one you know that what they promised you as a client, you can trust them.
