Hello, I am wondering if anyone had any issues with their belongings in their storage unit from the Neepawa area? Example: locks replaced and items missing?

Did this happen to you? It seems to be what you're hinting at. Best to come out and say one way or the other, so that people don't jump to their own conclusions about a local business.

Just a general inquiry.

There is more than one storage facility company in Neepawa and I store my stuff at one of them and have for a couple of years with no problems whatsoever.

Just a general inquiry to decide where.

The locks will be replaced if don't pay for the monthly rent (or whatever period) ahead of time. Eg for December 2017 you would need to pay by November 30th. I rented a unit a few years back for a couple of months while moving and had no problems whatsoever.

Should there not be 2 locks on the secure hasp? One for the customer to secure the unit and the other for the facility management to place on the unit on case of a late payment.  
If the customers lock is cut and replaced then it would mean the unit has been rummaged through. Where as if the management placed their own lock beside the customers lock on the unit that would mean that there is a higher level of security to protect both business and client.

In most if not all storage facilities, there is a latch mechanism with room for 2 padlocks. As a customer, you place your own padlock on your unit. If you don’t pay, then the manager will place their own lock on it as well to prevent you from taking your stuff and not paying your bills.  
 
If your lock has been cut and replaced, and your stuff “rummaged through”, there could be many possibilities as to why, and they are all dependent on the individual situation.  
 
First off, if the lock has been replaced, how would you open the unit to see that it has been rummaged through? If the manager cut your lock and replaced it, it means you are waaay behind on your bills, and they have decided to take ownership of the contents, as per the contract you would have signed. If you then cut their lock to get in, you are committing theft, trespassing, etc.  
 
Another option is that a third party has cut the lock and replaced it, but that would be very unlikely, as they would likely just cut your lock, steal stuff, and leave.  
 
Since you are just asking a “general question” about a specific business and location, I don’t know what else you are looking for. Management will never place a lock on the unit if you pay your bills, that is the bottom line.
