Description of the Business | |
Nature of Operations [Text Block] | 1. Description of the Business Public Storage, Inc., formerly a California corporation, was organized in 1980. Effective June1, 2007, following approval by our shareholders, we reorganized Public Storage, Inc. into Public Storage, a Maryland real estate investment trust (referred to herein as the Company, the Trust, we, us, or our). Our principal business activities include the acquisition, development, ownership and operation of self-storage facilities which offer storage spaces for lease, generally on a month-to-month basis, for personal and business use. Our self-storage facilities are located primarily in the United States (U.S.). We also have interests in self-storage facilities located in seven Western European countries. At June 30, 2009, we had direct and indirect equity interests in 2,010 self-storage facilities located in 38 states operating under the Public Storage name, and 185 self-storage facilities located in Europe which operate under the Shurgard Storage Centers name. Included in the 2,010 self-storage facilities is one facility for which we discontinued operations during the three months ended June 30, 2009 in connection with an eminent domain proceeding. We also have direct and indirect equity interests in approximately 21 million net rentable square feet of commercial space located in 11 states in the U.S. primarily operated by PS Business Parks, Inc. (PSB) under the PS Business Parks name. Any reference to the number of properties, square footage, number of tenant reinsurance policies outstanding and the aggregate coverage of such reinsurance policies are unaudited and outside the scope of our independent registered public accounting firms review of our financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | |
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block] | 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been reflected in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2009 due to seasonality and other factors. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. Certain amounts previously reported in our December 31, 2008, March 31, 2008, and June 30, 2008 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the June 30, 2009 presentation, including discontinued operations, the grouping of the separate captions cumulative earnings and cumulative distributions into retained earnings (deficit) on our condensed consolidated balance sheet, as well as reclassifications required by newly implemented accounting standards described below. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through August 7, 2009, which represents the filing date of this Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). As of August 7, 2009, there were no subsequent events which required recognition or disclosure. Adjustments due to accounting pronouncements becoming effective January 1, 2009 Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements an amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS No. 160) and other accounting standards implemented by the Financial Accounting Standards Board and the SEC (collectively, the Revised Minority Interest Standards) became effective January 1, 2009. As a result, we have reclassified certain equity interests previously referred to as minority interests on our balance sheet at December 31, 2008 to permanent noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries or redeemable noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries. These reclassifications increased equity by $351,640,000, increased redeemable noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries by $12,777,000, and decreased minority interest by $364,417,000, as compared to the amounts previously presented as of December 31, 2008. On our condensed consolidated statement of income, income allocations to the aforementioned equity interests were reclassified from minority interest in income, a reduction to income, to income allocated to noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries, an allocation of net income in calculating net income allocable to our common shareholders.

Disposition of an Interest in Shurgard Europe | |
Disposition of interest | 3. Disposition of an Interest in Shurgard Europe On March 31, 2008, an institutional investor acquired a 51% interest in Shurgard European Holdings LLC, a newly formed Delaware limited liability company and the holding company for Shurgard Europe (Shurgard Holdings). Public Storage owns the remaining 49% interest and is the managing member of Shurgard Holdings. Our net proceeds from the transaction aggregated $609,059,000, comprised of $613,201,000 paid by the institutional investor less $4,142,000 in legal, accounting, and other expenses incurred in connection with the transaction. As a result of the disposition, we reduced our investment in Shurgard Europe by approximately $305,048,000 for the pro rata portion of our March 31, 2008 investment that was sold, and recognized a gain of $304,011,000 upon disposition, representing the difference between the net proceeds received of $609,059,000 and the pro rata portion of our investment sold of $305,048,000. In addition, as a result of our disposition of this interest, a portion of the cumulative currency exchange gains we had previously recognized in Other Comprehensive Income with respect to Shurgard Europe was realized. Accordingly, we recognized a cumulative currency exchange gain of $37,854,000, representing 51% (the pro rata portion of Shurgard Europe that was sold) of the cumulative currency exchange gain previously included in Other Comprehensive Income. The gain upon disposition of $304,011,000 and associated realized currency exchange gain totaling $37,854,000 are both included in the line-item gain (loss) on disposition of real estate investments in our condensed consolidated statement of income for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The results of operations of Shurgard Europe have been included in our condensed consolidated statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Commencing with the quarter beginning April 1, 2008, our pro rata share of operations of Shurgard Europe is reflected on our condensed consolidated statement of income under equity in earnings of real estate entities. |

Any initial premium or discount, representing the difference between the stated note rate and estimated fair value on the respective date of assumption, is amortized over the remaining term of the notes using the effective interest method. Fair values are determined based upon discounting the future cash flows under each respective note at an interest rate that approximates those of loans with similar credit characteristics, term to maturity, and other market data which represent significant unobservable inputs, which are Level3 inputs as the term is utilized in SFAS No. 157. At June 30, 2009, we have a revolving credit agreement (the Credit Agreement) which expires on March 27, 2012, with an aggregate limit with respect to borrowings and letters of credit of $300 million. Amounts drawn on the Credit Agreement bear an annual interest rate ranging from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 0.35% to LIBOR plus 1.00% depending on our credit ratings (LIBOR plus 0.35% at June 30, 2009). In addition, we are required to pay a quarterly facility fee ranging from 0.10% per annum to 0.25% per annum depending on our credit ratings (0.10% per annum at June 30, 2009). We had no outstanding borrowings on our Credit Agreement at June 30, 2009 or at August 7, 2009. At June 30, 2009, we had undrawn standby letters of credit, which reduce our borrowing capability with respect to our line of credit by the amount of the letters of credit, totaling $20,000,000 ($17,736,000 at December 31, 2008).

Noncontrolling Interests in Subsidiaries | |
Noncontrolling Interest Disclosure [Text Block] | 7. Noncontrolling Interests in Subsidiaries In consolidation, we classify ownership interests in the net assets of each of the Consolidated Entities, other than our own, as noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries. If these interests have the ability to require us, except in the circumstances of an entity liquidation, to redeem the underlying securities for cash, assets, or other securities that would not also be classified as equity, then such interests are presented on our balance sheet outside of equity. At the end of each reporting period, if the book value is less than the estimated amount to be paid upon a redemption occurring on the related balance sheet date, with the offset against retained earnings. All other noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries are presented as a component of equity, permanent noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests in Subsidiaries At June 30, 2009, the Other Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests in Subsidiaries represent equity interests in three entities that own in aggregate 14 self-storage facilities. At December 31, 2008, these interests were increased and retained earnings (deficit) was decreased by a total of $6,469,000 in connection with the implementation of SFAS No. 160, to adjust to their estimated liquidation value (which approximates fair value). We estimate the amount to be paid upon redemption of these interests by applying the related provisions of the governing documents to our estimate of the fair value of the underlying net assets (principally real estate assets). In 2007, we sold an approximately 0.6% common equity interest in Shurgard Europe to various officers of the Company (the PS Officers), other than our chief executive officer. For periods commencing from the sale of the interest through March 31, 2008, the PS Officers were allocated their pro rata share of the earnings of Shurgard Europe, and this was included in Other Redeemable noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries. As described in Note 3, on March31, 2008, we deconsolidated Shurgard Europe and, as a result, noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries with respect to the PS Officers investment was eliminated. See Note 5 under Investment in Shurgard Europe for further historical information regarding Shurgard Europe. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, we allocated a total of $244,000 and $506,000, respectively, in income to these interests. During the same periods in 2008, we allocated a total of $274,000 and $513,000, respectively, of income to these interests. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, these interests were increased by $255,000 to adjust to their estimated liquidation value (which approximates fair value). During the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, we paid distributions to these interests totaling $666,000 and $645,000, respectively. Permanent Noncontrolling Interests in Subsidiaries At June 30, 2009, the Other Permanent Noncontrolling Interests in Subsidiaries represent equity interests in 28 entities that own an aggregate of 94 self-storage facilities (the Other Permanent Noncontrolling Interests in Subsidiaries) and |

Related Party Transactions Disclosure [Text Block] | 9. Related Party Transactions Mr. Hughes, Public Storages Chairman of the Board of Trustees, and his family (collectively the Hughes Family) have ownership interests in, and operate approximately 51 self-storage facilities in Canada using the Public Storage brand name (PS Canada) pursuant to a royalty-free trademark license agreement with Public Storage. We currently do not own any interests in these facilities nor do we own any facilities in Canada. The Hughes Family owns approximately 20% of our common shares outstanding at June 30, 2009. We have a right of first refusal to acquire the stock or assets of the corporation that manages the 51 self-storage facilities in Canada, if the Hughes Family or the corporation agrees to sell them. However, we have no interest in the operations of this corporation, we have no right to acquire this stock or assets unless the Hughes Family decides to sell and we receive no benefit from the profits and increases in value of the Canadian self-storage facilities. We reinsure risks relating to loss of goods stored by tenants in the self-storage facilities in Canada. During the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, we received $390,000 and $441,000, respectively, in reinsurance premiums attributable to the Canadian facilities. Since our right to provide tenant reinsurance to the Canadian facilities may be qualified, there is no assurance that these premiums will continue. Public Storage and Mr. Hughes are co-general partners in certain consolidated partnerships and affiliated partnerships of Public Storage that are not consolidated. The Hughes Family owns 47.9% of the voting stock and Public Storage holds 46% of the voting and 100% of the nonvoting stock (representing substantially all the economic interest) of a private REIT. The private REIT owns limited partnership interests in five affiliated partnerships. The Hughes Family also owns limited partnership interests in certain of these partnerships and holds securities in PSB. PS Canada holds approximately a 1.2% interest in Stor-RE, a consolidated entity that provides liability and casualty insurance for PS Canada, Public Storage and certain affiliates of Public Storage, for occurrences prior to April 1, 2004 as described below. Public Storage and the Hughes Family receive distributions from these entities in accordance with the terms of the partnership agreements or other organizational documents. From time to time, the Company and the Hughes Family have acquired limited partnership units from limited partners of the Companys consolidated partnerships. In connection with the acquisition in 1998 and 1999 of a total of 638 limited partnership units by Tamara Hughes Gustavson and H-G Family Corp., a company owned by Hughes Family members, the Company was granted an option to acquire the limited partnership units acquired at cost, plus expenses. During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company exercised its option to acquire the units for a total purchase price of approximately $239,000. The transaction was approved by the independent members of the Board of Trustees after considering that the value of the units had appreciated significantly |

Share-Based Compensation | |
Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Text Block] | 10. Share-Based Compensation Stock Options We have various stock option plans (collectively referred to as the PS Plans). Under the PS Plans, the Company has granted non-qualified options to certain trustees, officers and key employees to purchase the Companys common shares at a price equal to the fair market value of the common shares at the date of grant. Generally, options granted after December 31, 2002 vest generally over a five-year period and expire between eight years and ten years after the date they became exercisable. The PS Plans also provide for the grant of restricted shares (see below) to officers, key employees and service providers on terms determined by an authorized committee of our Board. We recognize compensation expense for share-based awards based upon their fair value on the date of grant amortized over the applicable vesting period (the Fair Value Method), net of estimates for future forfeitures. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, we recorded $900,000 and $1,500,000, respectively, in stock option compensation expense related to options granted after January 1, 2002, as compared to $951,000 and $1,367,000 for the same periods in 2008. A total of 1,485,000 stock options were granted during the six months ended June 30, 2009, 19,619 shares were exercised, and 79,000 shares were forfeited. A total of 3,783,713 stock options were outstanding at June 30, 2009 (2,397,332 at December 31, 2008). Outstanding stock options are included on a one-for-one basis in our diluted weighted average shares, less a reduction for the treasury stock method applied to a) the average cumulative measured but unrecognized compensation expense during the period and b) the strike price proceeds expected from the employee upon exercise. Restricted Share Units Outstanding restricted share units vest over a five or eight-year period from the date of grant at the rate of one-fifth or one-eighth per year, respectively. The employee receives additional compensation equal to the per-share dividends received by common shareholders with respect to restricted share units outstanding. Such compensation is accounted for as dividends paid. Any dividends paid on units which are subsequently forfeited are expensed. Upon vesting, the employee receives common shares equal to the number of vested restricted share units in exchange for the units. The total value of each restricted share unit grant, based upon the market price of our common shares at the date of grant, is amortized over the service period, net of estimates for future forfeitures, as compensation expense. The related employer portion of payroll taxes is expensed as incurred. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, 99,050 restricted share units were granted, 42,022 restricted share units were forfeited and 90,633 restricted share units vested. This vesting resulted in the issuance of 56,352 common shares. In addition, cash compensation was paid to employees in lieu of 34,281 common shares based upon the market value of the shares at the date of vesting, and used to settle the employees tax liability generated by the vesting.

Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block] | 11. Segment Information Description of Each Reportable Segment Our reportable segments reflect significant operating activities that are evaluated separately by management, comprised of the following segments which are organized based upon their operating characteristics. Our self-storage segment comprises the direct ownership, development, and operation of traditional self-storage facilities in the U.S., and the ownership of equity interests in entities that own self-storage facilities in the U.S., and our interest in the operations of a facility in London, England. Our Shurgard Europe segment comprises our interest in the self-storage and associated activities owned by Shurgard Europe. See also Note 3 for a discussion of the disposition of an interest in, and deconsolidation of, Shurgard Europe effective March 31, 2008. Our ancillary segment includes (i) the reinsurance of policies against losses to goods stored by tenants in our self-storage facilities, (ii) merchandise sales, (iii) commercial property operations, and (iv) management of facilities for third parties and facilities owned by the Unconsolidated Entities. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we discontinued our truck rental and containerized storage operations, which previously had been included in our ancillary segment. See Discontinued Operations in Note 2 for further discussion. Measurement of Segment Income (Loss) and Segment Assets Self-Storage and Ancillary The self-storage and ancillary segments are evaluated by management based upon the net segment income of each segment. Net segment income represents net income in conformity with GAAP and our significant accounting policies as denoted in Note 2, before interest and other income, interest expense, and corporate general and administrative expense. Interest and other income, interest expense, corporate general and administrative expense, and gains and losses on sales of real estate assets are not allocated to these segments because management does not utilize them to evaluate the results of operations of each segment. In addition, there is no presentation of segment assets for these other segments because total assets are not considered in the evaluation of these segments. Measurement of Segment Income (Loss) and Segment Assets Shurgard Europe Shurgard Europes operations are primarily independent of our other segments, with a separate management team that makes the financing, capital allocation, and other significant decisions. As a result, this segment is evaluated by management as a stand-alone business unit. The Shurgard Europe segment presentation includes all of the revenues, expenses, and operations of this business unit to the extent consolidated in our financial statements, and for periods following the deconsolidation of Shurgard Europe, the presentation below includes our equity share of Shurgard Europes operations, the interest and other income received from Shurgard Europe, as well as specific general and administrative expense, disposition gains, and foreign currency exchange gains and losses that management considers in evaluating our investment in Shurgard Euro |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Text Block] | 12. Commitments and Contingencies Legal Matters Brinkley v. Public Storage, Inc. (filed April 2005) (Superior Court of California Los Angeles County) The plaintiff sued the Company on behalf of a purported class of California non-exempt employees based on various California wage and hour laws and seeking monetary damages and injunctive relief. In May 2006, a motion for class certification was filed seeking to certify five subclasses. Plaintiff sought certification for alleged meal period violations, rest period violations, failure to pay for travel time, failure to pay for mileage reimbursement, and for wage statement violations. In October 2006, the Court declined to certify three out of the five subclasses. The Court did, however, certify subclasses based on alleged meal period and wage statement violations. Subsequently, the Company filed a motion for summary judgment seeking to dismiss the matter in its entirety. On June 22, 2007, the Court granted the Companys summary judgment motion as to the causes of action relating to the subclasses certified and dismissed those claims. The only surviving claims are those relating to the named plaintiff. The plaintiff has filed an appeal to the Courts June 22, 2007 summary judgment ruling. On October 28, 2008, the Court of Appeals sustained the trial courts ruling. The plaintiff filed a petition for review with the California Supreme Court, which was granted but further action in this matter was deferred pending consideration and disposition of a related issue in Brinker Restaurant Corp. v. Superior Court which is currently pending before the California Supreme Court. Other Items We are a party to various claims, complaints, and other legal actions that have arisen in the normal course of business from time to time that are not described above. We believe that it is unlikely that the outcome of these other pending legal proceedings including employment and tenant claims, in the aggregate, will have a material adverse impact upon our operations or financial position. Insurance and Loss Exposure We have historically carried customary property, earthquake, general liability and workers compensation coverage through internationally recognized insurance carriers, subject to customary levels of deductibles. The aggregate limits on these policies of $75 million for property coverage and $102million for general liability are higher than estimates of maximum probable loss that could occur from individual catastrophic events determined in recent engineering and actuarial studies; however, in case of multiple catastrophic events, these limits could be exhausted. Our tenant insurance program reinsures a program that provides insurance to certificate holders against claims for property losses due to specific named perils (earthquakes and floods are not covered by these policies) to goods stored by tenants at our self-storage facilities for individual limits up to a maximum of $5,000. We have third-party insurance coverage for claims paid exceeding $1,000,000 resulting from any one individual event, to a limit of $25,000,000. At June 30, 2009, there were approximately 612,000 |
