KeepSafe funds emergency storage payments for families about to lose their belongings, and fights the predatory practices that put them at risk in the first place.
Storage companies lure you in with low rates, then double your rent within months. Once your belongings are inside, moving them is expensive and exhausting. They know this.
Fall behind on one payment and the clock starts. Your children's photos, family heirlooms, irreplaceable keepsakes, auctioned off to strangers for pennies on the dollar.
Misleading jargon, hidden fees, and guarantees that protect only the storage company. Low-income families sign away rights they never knew they had.
We stand between predatory storage companies and the people they exploit.
When someone is about to lose their belongings, we step in. Direct payments to prevent lien sales. Low-income applicants pay nothing. Others repay in affordable monthly installments.
Most storage tenants don't know their legal protections. We educate people on state-by-state rights so they can stand up to unfair practices before it's too late.
We track, document, and expose predatory storage companies. Rate hikes without notice, illegal lien sales, contract manipulation. Public accountability drives change.
Working with legislators to strengthen storage tenant protections. California and New York are leading the charge. We push every state to follow.
NYC sued Extra Space Storage for "predatory practices" affecting thousands. This isn't one bad actor. It's the industry standard.
In February 2026, New York City filed a landmark lawsuit against a national storage company for bait-and-switch pricing, hidden fees, and auctioning belongings without proper notice. KeepSafe exists because regulators can't protect everyone, and most people can't afford a lawyer.
KeepSafe is building the first nonprofit dedicated entirely to protecting storage tenants, because a $44 billion industry shouldn't be able to hold your memories hostage.
