Public Storage

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

Proof of Purchase

Class Members must provide the Florida Public Storage location(s) where they rented a storage unit along with the beginning and ending dates for each unit.

      The Public Storage settlement is still under two appeals with the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. Top Class Actions is following the case, and will let viewers know when all appeals are resolved. Please note that appeals can take several months, or even years to work their way through the appeals court.

          I’d imagine it won’t be more than $10.00 with how many people use public storage….I wouldn’t rely on this tiny check to save your family.

  5. Kathie says:
