Why your rent can rise while new-customer rates fall
Street rates are what facilities advertise to new customers. An existing tenant's rent is set by their rental agreement and can be changed separately, so your rent can go up even when the average advertised rate in the city is flat or falling.
What Florida law says about rent increases
Florida's Self-storage Facility Act (Fla. Stat. 83.801-83.809) doesn't set a cap on storage rent increases. How and when your rent can change depends on your rental agreement, so check its terms on rate changes and notice. For more, see Florida storage rent increase.
How to push back on an increase
Compare your new rate with the local averages above for your unit size, then ask your facility whether it can review your rate. For tips, see How to negotiate your self storage rate.
