Cancellation Cubesmart: Easy Method
What is Cubesmart
CubeSmart is a national self-storage company that rents individual storage units to residential and business customers. Facilities typically offer a mix of standard and climate-controlled units, on-site or remote management, optional insurance limits, and online account tools for payments and basic account management.
Although CubeSmart is headquartered in the United States, many Canadians use their services. Policies such as billing, move-out notice, and insurance limits are governed by CubeSmart’s terms and by applicable provincial rules where you rent a unit.
How to cancel CubeSmart
- Vacate the unit completely and remove all belongings before the effective move-out date; CubeSmart requires the unit to be empty and available for inspection.
- Provide advance written or online notice of your intent to cancel. Accepted methods commonly include submitting notice through your online CubeSmart account or notifying the facility manager in writing or in person. Many locations require at least seven days’ notice prior to move-out.
- Alternatively, contact CubeSmart customer service by phone or live chat. Example phone numbers listed by customers include 1-844-630-2981 and 1-844-248-3104; use the CubeSmart website live chat if available. Ask for confirmation of your cancellation in writing (email) or a signed form from staff.
- If you prefer, send a written cancellation by registered mail (to ensure proof of delivery) addressed to CubeSmart Customer Service; include your account number, unit number, move-out date, and a request for written confirmation.
- After giving notice and vacating, arrange an inspection with staff (if requested) and verify account closure and final billing. Keep copies of all communications and receipts for your records.
What happens when you cancel
When you cancel, CubeSmart expects the unit to be vacated and available for inspection. Once staff confirm the unit is empty and in acceptable condition, they will complete the move-out process and close the account. Access to the unit and gate code will typically be deactivated after the account is closed or on the effective move-out date.
Final billing is processed after inspection; any outstanding rent, late fees, damage repair charges, or lock cutting/clean-up fees will be billed to your account. You should receive confirmation of account closure - either an email or a written notice from the facility - if you requested one or if CubeSmart’s process generates one.
Will I get a refund?
CubeSmart’s common practice is not to prorate monthly rent: if you vacate mid-billing cycle you are generally responsible for the full month’s rent and do not receive a refund for unused days. Some customers have reported difficulty obtaining refunds when leaving early, and refunds are not routinely issued. If you believe you are owed a refund (for example, an overpayment or duplicate charge), raise the issue immediately with CubeSmart customer service and provide documentation.
Exceptions can occur but are rare and may require escalation, a manager review, or a disputed charge with your payment method. Keep written proof of move-out date, inspection results, and all payments to support any refund claim.

Your consumer rights in Canada
Canadian consumer protection for self-storage varies by province. Typical protections address proper notice for contract termination, clear disclosure of fees and billing practices, fair billing, and remedies for improper practices. CubeSmart’s stated policies (for example, no proration and limited refunds) may conflict with provincial rules in specific circumstances, so check the rules that apply where your unit is located.
CubeSmart’s standard insurance cap for contents is US$5,000 unless you arrange additional coverage; verify the currency and coverage limits in your rental agreement and consider separate tenant insurance if you need higher protection. If you believe a Cubesmart practice violates provincial consumer or tenancy statutes, contact your provincial consumer protection office for guidance.
Customer experiences
Reviews are mixed. Some customers report professional, helpful staff, clean facilities, and straightforward move-out experiences. Others report frequent rate increases soon after move-in, communication problems, rude or unhelpful staff, and billing disputes, including double charges or difficulty obtaining refunds. There are also reports raising concerns about security and maintenance (theft, break-ins, mold or climate issues in some units), though experiences vary widely by location.
Because local management quality varies, many customers advise documenting everything, confirming policies in writing, and inspecting the facility personally before signing the rental agreement.
Documentation checklist
- Your signed rental agreement (keep a copy)
- Account number and unit number
- Written move-out notice (email, online confirmation, or mailed letter) with requested effective date
- Proof you vacated the unit (photos or dated inventory, and any staff inspection form)
- Payment receipts showing paid rent and dates
- Correspondence with staff or customer service (emails, chat transcripts, notes of calls)
- If sent by mail, proof of delivery (registered mail receipt) and a copy of the mailed notice
Common mistakes
Customers commonly make the mistake of relying on verbal confirmation alone; without written confirmation you may be billed for additional rent or fees. Another frequent problem is failing to provide the required written or online notice or using an incorrect address for notices, which can delay account closure. Expect the full month’s rent even if you leave mid-cycle - assuming you didn’t negotiate otherwise - so vacating partway through a billing month without documentation assuming proration can cause surprise charges.
Other examples: not removing all items (resulting in cleanup or lien fees), not arranging or documenting the move-out inspection, and not keeping receipts for last payments. To avoid these, provide formal notice, keep copies, take time-stamped photos of the empty unit, and request written confirmation of account closure.
Comparative recap
| Method | Refund | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
| Online account cancellation | Refund uncommon; depends on billing cycle | Low |
| Facility manager / in-person | Refund uncommon; easier to get written confirmation | Low - Medium |
| Phone / live chat | Refund uncommon; proof may be limited to chat transcript | Medium |
| Registered/certified mail to Customer Service | Refund uncommon but proof of notice is strongest for disputes | Medium - High |
After cancelling
Keep copies of all documentation (rental contract, move-out notice, inspection sheet, payment receipts, emails). If you have a billing dispute or believe you are owed money, escalate in writing to CubeSmart customer service and request a final statement. If unresolved, you can contact your payment provider to dispute a charge and consult provincial consumer protection authorities for guidance.
