The company presents itself as San Jose's family owned storage place and says its family created the largest variety of storage spaces in the South Bay, with drive-up access units, indoor spaces and second level spaces, so a customer can match the space to what they actually have rather than pay for space they do not need. The facility has been 100% solar powered since 2009, and the site says it creates enough clean energy to run the entire business and that the panels are kept clean to run efficiently. Casa De Mini calls this storing clean and green with a small carbon footprint. Maintenance is a stated priority. The site describes owners and staff on site handling painting, fencing, paving, sweeping, polishing and paint touchups, and says the family aims to be the best maintained facility in the South Bay and to keep improving the property every year. Staff are described on the site as space experts; one staff member, Sue, states she has been working in the self storage business since 1987. Named quotes on the site come from Jim, Sue and Ann, and customer testimonials appear under first names only. The website does not publish licence or registration numbers, ownership details beyond the family framing, review counts, star ratings or headcount. It does not publish prices, rates or current unit availability either.

The site describes three kinds of storage space: outdoor drive up spaces, indoor spaces, and second level spaces, which the site calls affordable. The company states it has the largest variety of storage units anywhere in the South Bay, with units ranging from 16 sq/ft up to 365 sq/ft and many sizes in between. The stated point of that range is that a customer does not have to rent more space than they need. Staff work on site and the site says the facility is open to the public seven days a week excluding holidays. The site invites customers to come in so staff can help find the right size space. For second level spaces the specials page says freight elevators are available, along with free use of flatbeds and hand trucks for moving in. Boxes and packing supplies are mentioned in a customer testimonial as available on site. The rental agreement term is month to month, per the FAQ page. Casa De Mini has been 100% solar powered since 2009. The website does not publish unit prices, monthly rates or current unit availability, and neither is posted anywhere on the site. Storage prices and availability change constantly, so a caller should not be quoted a rate or told a size is open. For current cost, rates, a quote, or whether a particular size can be rented today, contact the office by phone at (408) 294-1514 or email office@casademini.com. The site also offers a Request a Quote form and a Reserve Space link. Services such as vehicle, RV or boat storage, climate control, and any packing or moving services beyond supplies are not described on the site.

Names California, South Boston, and San Jose as a service area. Areas beyond these are not published. ## Prices Casa De Mini does not publish storage unit prices, monthly rental rates or a rate card anywhere on its website. There is no online price list and no live rate lookup on the site, so the cost of any unit has to come from the office. Self storage rates and unit availability change constantly, so no rate should ever be quoted from memory or from an older page. The way to get a price is direct: call (408) 294-1514 and ask for a quote, or send an estimate request through the Request a Quote form on the site, which asks for name, email, phone and a short message. The site says a representative will respond shortly and that staff will help find the right size space. Email can also go to office@casademini.com. The site has a Pay Online link on the menu bar for existing renters and a Reserve Space link. The specials page lists move-in specials as 2nd Month Free on a 10 x 12 Drive Up, 2nd Month Free on a 365 Sq / Ft Drive Up, and 2nd Month Free on a 6 x 10 Second Level, and says supplies are limited and specials are updated all the time. Because promotions and inventory change, whether a special still applies, and whether those particular units can be rented, must be confirmed by phone. The specials page also states a $29.00 one-time administrative fee that includes the required disc lock; confirm the current amount with the office. Late fees, returned check fees and other fees are described on the FAQ page rather than here.

To move in a customer must present a valid state ID or passport, fill out a rental agreement, and pay the first month's rent. The FAQ states a one-time $29.00 administrative move-in fee that includes the required disc lock, and says the rental agreement term is month to month. Confirm current fee amounts with the office, since published amounts can change. The renter supplies and fits their own lock and must keep the space secured at all times; locks are sold in the office and a disc lock is recommended. If a space is left unsecured the company will place its own lock on it. At move in the renter receives a security code for entry to the facility, entered as * then the code then #. Only one person signs the rental agreement; access for anyone else is given by sharing the code and a key. Payment can be made by cash, check, credit card or ACH, and the accepted cards listed are Master Card, Visa, Discover and AMEX. Card and ACH payments can be set up as a monthly auto-payment, and there is a Pay Online option on the menu bar. Partial payments are not allowed. There is a 10 day grace period for bill payment, after which a tiered late fee schedule applies; the tiers and other fees, including returned check, pre-lien, cut lock and inventory, and auction publishing fees, are listed on the FAQ page. no hazardous or toxic materials, no living or operating a business in the unit, no modifying the space, no connecting electrical devices, and no garbage disposal on the property. Transferring to a different space means renting the new space and moving everything before the original is vacated. Moving out requires 7 days written notice, signing a vacate receipt at the office, and leaving the space empty and broom swept. The FAQ says insurance is offered when a space is rented and suggests checking whether homeowner's or renter's insurance already covers stored items. What any policy covers, its limits and its terms are not published on the site, so coverage terms must be confirmed with the office rather than assumed. Prices and availability are likewise not published.
