Public Storage requires at least 7 days' notice before your billing date to move out, and its own official policy states it does not offer prorated refunds for partial months or unused days.
No Prorated Refunds, Even for a Few Days Left
Public Storage's own official move-out policy is explicit: there's no partial refund for unused time, even if you move out shortly after a new billing cycle starts. The company's own advice is to plan your move-out near the end of your billing cycle so you actually use the time you've paid for, since there's no compensation for leaving early within a cycle.
