Public Storage has agreed to settle a class action lawsuit alleging it deceived some of its tenants by misrepresenting that it would send the premiums collected through the sale of self-storage insurance to an independent insurance company. If you rented storage units from Public Storage in the state of Florida and purchased self-insurance policies, you may be entitled to benefits from the class action settlement.
The proposed self-storage insurance settlement will resolve allegations that Public Storage deceived its Florida tenants by representing to them that it would send the premiums collected through the sale of self-storage insurance to an independent insurance company, when it actually kept more than 75 percent of the premiums paid by the Florida residents.
Public Storage denies any wrongdoing but agreed to settle the self-storage insurance class action lawsuit to avoid the costs and uncertainty associated with trial.
The Public Storage insurance class action settlement was preliminarily approved on Oct. 21, 2015.
Class Members who wish to opt out of the Public Storage settlement must do so no later than Jan. 11, 2016.
UPDATE: On Feb. 29, 2016, a Florida federal judge gave final approval to a $5 million class action settlement over allegations Public Storage overcharged Florida customers for self-storage insurance.
UPDATE 2: There was a single objector to the settlement so until that’s resolved, the Claims Administrator cannot pay out claims.
Who’s Eligible
Class Members include anyone who rented storage units from Public Storage within the state of Florida and who purchased self-storage insurance policies through Public Storage from May 1, 2010 through June 18, 2015.
Potential Award
Up to 50 percent of the total alleged damages

All our furniture was destroyed due to water damage. The unit had separated which allowed water in. We had the public storage unit for 3 yrs n was forced to pay ins with orange door. I was told I only get 3000.00 less 100.00 cuz that’s all we paid in ins. premiums how ever we had over 10,000.00 in damages
TCA any updates.
When will we get paid and why isn’t the website up any more?
This is what happens when you rent at public storage. You rent a unit and are forced into purchasing their fake insurance “orangedoor”. Shortly after you rent a unit, the onsite managers cuts the lock they sold you and burglarizes your unit behind locked gates and after hours. They do not fear being caught because there really isn’t any cameras or security. They are free and clear to rob you, and they take their time taking what they want. After they have stolen what they want, they then put another of their locks on after throwing out the cut lock, thereby destroying the evidence and opening a loop hole in your claim against the insurance. because burglary is only covered if you can prove forced entry which you now cant because the put a new lock on it destroying the proof. now your not only out from what they stole, you are denied coverage because of the evidence they destroyed. Its the managers living onsite burglarizing its customers. BUT I GOT A SWEET LITTLE SURPRISE FOR THE 1600 WATSON CT. MILPITAS, CALIF LOCATION. PSST HEY, YOU LEFT YOUR CROWBAR THAT WAS USED TO FORCE ENTRY AND ITS BEING TESTED FOR DNA. STUPID MTHR FKERS. BOOM..
TCA any new updates on this case?
There were two appeals, and it looks like both appeals are over as of July 2017. However, it is not known how quickly claims will be paid.
Has a court date been set for pending appeal?
I think they should inform everyone that when the hearing or appeal take place they should notify everyone
Agree
