Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS | ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS National Storage Affiliates Trust was organized in the state of Maryland on May 16, 2013 and is a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust focused on the self storage sector. As used herein, "NSA," the "Company," "we," "our," and "us" refers to National Storage Affiliates Trust and its consolidated subsidiaries, except where the context indicates otherwise. The Company intends to elect and qualify as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with its taxable year ending December 31, 2015. Through our controlling interest as the sole general partner of NSA OP, LP (our "operating partnership"), a Delaware limited partnership formed on February 13, 2013, we are focused on the ownership, operation, and acquisition of self storage properties in the United States. Pursuant to the Agreement of Limited Partnership (as amended, the "LP Agreement") of our operating partnership, our operating partnership is authorized to issue Class A Units ("OP units"), different series of Class B Units ("subordinated performance units"), and Long-Term Incentive Plan Units ("LTIP units"). We also own certain of our self storage properties through other consolidated limited partnership subsidiaries of our operating partnership, which we refer to as "DownREIT partnerships." The DownREIT partnerships issue equity ownership interests that are intended to be economically equivalent to our OP units ("DownREIT OP units") and subordinated performance units ("DownREIT subordinated performance units"). The Company completed its initial public offering on April 28, 2015, pursuant to which it sold 20,000,000 shares of the Company's common shares of beneficial interest, $0.01 par value per share ("common shares"), at a price of $13.00 per share. As part of the offering, the Company granted the underwriters an option to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional common shares within thirty days after the offering. The underwriters exercised their option and, on May 18, 2015, purchased an additional 3,000,000 common shares. These transactions resulted in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $278.1 million , after deducting the underwriting discount and before additional expenses associated with the offering. The Company contributed the net proceeds from its initial public offering to our operating partnership in exchange for 23,000,000 OP units. OP Units are the economic equivalent of the Company's common shares and for each common share issued by the Company, our operating partnership issues a corresponding OP Unit to NSA in exchange for the contribution of the proceeds from the share issuances. Immediately prior to the completion of our initial public offering on April 28, 2015, we redeemed 1,000 common shares held by National Storage Affiliates Holdings, LLC ("Holdings"), an entity formed on February 13, 2013, for no consideration. Prior to this redemption, the Company was 100% owned by Holdings and the only assets of Holdings were 126,400 OP units and 1,000 common shares. The Company owned 261 self storage properties in 16 states with approximately 14.8 million rentable square feet in approximately 115,000 storage units as of September 30, 2015 . These properties are managed with local operational focus and expertise by our participating regional operators ("PROs"). These PROs are SecurCare Self Storage, Inc. and its controlled affiliates ("SecurCare"), Kevin Howard Real Estate Inc., d/b/a Northwest Self Storage and its controlled affiliates ("Northwest"), Optivest Properties LLC and its controlled affiliates ("Optivest"), Guardian Storage Centers LLC and its controlled affiliates ("Guardian"), Move It Self Storage and its controlled affiliates ("Move It"), and Arizona Mini Storage Management Company d/b/a Storage Solutions and its controlled affiliates ("Storage Solutions"). |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are presented on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements have been included. Principles of Consolidation The Company's financial statements include the accounts of our operating partnership and its controlled subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation of entities. When the Company obtains an economic interest in an entity, the Company evaluates the entity to determine if the entity is deemed a variable interest entity ("VIE"), and if the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary, in accordance with authoritative guidance issued on the consolidation of VIEs. When an entity is not deemed to be a VIE, the Company considers the provisions of additional guidance to determine whether the general partner controls a limited partnership or similar entity when the limited partners have certain rights. The Company consolidates (i) entities that are VIEs and of which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary, and (ii) entities that are non-VIEs which the Company controls and which limited partners lack both substantive participating rights and the ability to dissolve or remove the Company without cause. Noncontrolling Interests All of the limited partner equity interests in our operating partnership not held by the Company are reflected as noncontrolling interests. Noncontrolling interests also include ownership interests in DownREIT partnerships held by entities other than our operating partnership. In the consolidated statements of operations, we allocate net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests to arrive at net income (loss) attributable to National Storage Affiliates Trust. For transactions that result in changes to the Company's ownership interest in our operating partnership, the carrying amount of noncontrolling interests is adjusted to reflect such changes. The difference between the fair value of the consideration received or paid and the amount by which the noncontrolling interest is adjusted is reflected as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital on the consolidated balance sheets. Reclassifications Certain amounts in the financial statements and related notes have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications do not impact our previously reported financial position or net income (loss). Allocation of Net Income (Loss) The distribution rights and priorities set forth in our operating partnership's LP Agreement differ from what is reflected by the underlying percentage ownership interests of the unitholders. Accordingly, we allocate GAAP income (loss) utilizing the hypothetical liquidation at book value ("HLBV") method, in which we allocate income or loss based on the change in each unitholders’ claim on the net assets of our operating partnership at period end after adjusting for any distributions or contributions made during such period. The HLBV method is commonly applied to equity investments where cash distribution percentages vary at different points in time and are not directly linked to an equity holder’s ownership percentage. The HLBV method is a balance sheet-focused approach. A calculation is prepared at each balance sheet date to determine the amount that unitholders would receive if our operating partnership were to liquidate all of its assets (at GAAP net book value) and distribute the resulting proceeds to its creditors and unitholders based on the contractually defined liquidation priorities. The difference between the calculated liquidation distribution amounts at the beginning and the end of the reporting period, after adjusting for capital contributions and distributions, is used to derive each unitholder's share of the income (loss) for the period. Due to the stated liquidation priorities and because the HLBV method incorporates non-cash items such as depreciation expense, in any given period, income or loss may be allocated disproportionately to unitholders as compared to their respective ownership percentage in our operating partnership, and net income (loss) attributable to National Storage Affiliates Trust could be more or less net income than actual cash distributions received and more or less income or loss than what may be received in the event of an actual liquidation. Additionally, the HLBV method could result in net income attributable to National Storage Affiliates Trust during a period when the Company reports a consolidated net loss, or net income attributable to National Storage Affiliates Trust in excess of the Company's consolidated net income. Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) We have cash flow hedge derivative instruments that are measured at fair value with unrealized gains or losses recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) with a corresponding adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive loss within equity, as discussed further in Note 11 . Under the HLBV method of allocating income (loss) discussed above, a calculation is prepared at each balance sheet date by applying the HLBV method including, and excluding, the assets and liabilities resulting from our cash flow hedge derivative instruments to determine comprehensive income (loss) attributable to National Storage Affiliates Trust. As a result of the distribution rights and priorities set forth in our operating partnership's LP Agreement, all amounts of consolidated other comprehensive income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 were allocated to noncontrolling interests, as presented within the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income or loss. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASU 2014-09 will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective. ASU 2014-09 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2018, with early application permitted for the Company on January 1, 2017. ASU 2014-09 permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting. In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, which modifies the current consolidation guidance. The Company is required to adopt ASU 2015-02 for annual and interim financial statements issued for the year ending December 31, 2016. Upon adoption by the Company, ASU 2015-02 permits the use of either the modified retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of ASU 2015-02 on its consolidation policies as well as the transition method to be used to implement ASU 2015-02. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest—Imputation of Interest, which requires the presentation of debt issuance costs as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liabilities. The Company does not expect ASU 2015-03 to have a material impact on the Company's results from operations, however, adoption will result in the elimination of debt issuance costs as an asset and a corresponding reduction in the carrying amount of the Company's debt financings applied retrospectively to all periods. The Company is required to adopt this ASU for annual and interim financial statements issued for the year ending December 31, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2015-03 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, Business Combinations—Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments, which requires an acquirer of a business to recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the business combination's measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined rather than retrospectively. ASU 2015-16 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2016, with early application permitted. The Company elected to adopt ASU 2015-16 during the three months ended September 30, 2015. |

The increase in OP Units, DownREIT OP units, subordinated performance units, and DownREIT subordinated performance units outstanding from December 31, 2014 to September 30, 2015 was related to the acquisition of self storage properties and a centralized call center. The increase in LTIP units outstanding from December 31, 2014 to September 30, 2015 was due to the issuance of compensatory LTIP units to third party consultants, employees and a PRO. |

Of these acquisitions, 11 self storage properties with an estimated fair value of $71.3 million were acquired by us from our PROs, and 13 self storage properties with an estimated fair value of $65.3 million were acquired by us from an entity which is managed by a member of our board of trustees. These self storage property acquisitions were accounted for as business combinations whereby the Company recognized the estimated fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities on the respective dates of such acquisitions. The Company preliminarily allocated the total purchase price to the estimated fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired, and liabilities assumed. The Company allocated a portion of the purchase price to identifiable intangible assets consisting of customer in-place leases which were recorded at estimated fair value of $6.6 million , resulting in a total fair value of $236.1 million allocated to real estate. The following table summarizes, by calendar quarter, the consideration for the business combinations completed by the Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 (dollars in thousands): Acquisitions Closed During the Three Months Ended: Summary of Consideration Number of Properties Value of OP Equity (1) Settlement of Note Receivable Liabilities Assumed (Assets Acquired) Cash Mortgages (2) Other Total March 31, 2015 6 $ 6,991 $ 8,954 $ 1,778 $ 16,442 $ 70 $ 34,235 (3) June 30, 2015 21 41,277 22,971 — 30,547 288 95,083 September 30, 2015 15 84,673 10,188 — 2,866 512 98,239 (3) Total 42 $ 132,941 $ 42,113 $ 1,778 $ 49,855 $ 870 $ 227,557 (1) Value of OP equity represents the fair value of OP units and subordinated performance units. (2) Includes fair value of debt adjustment for assumed mortgages of approximately $2.2 million . (3) Excludes the fair value of noncontrolling interests associated with self storage properties acquired in DownREIT partnerships which amounted to $6.8 million and $8.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015, respectively. We estimate the portion of the fair value of the net assets owned by noncontrolling interests based on the fair value of the real estate and debt assumed. Three of the 42 self storage properties acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 are subject to non-cancelable leasehold interest agreements that are classified as operating leases. These lease agreements expire between 2034 and 2051, inclusive of extension options that we anticipate exercising. The results of operations for these business combinations are included in our statements of operations beginning on the respective closing date for each acquisition. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 , the accompanying statements of operations includes aggregate revenue of $5.9 million and $10.4 million , respectively, and operating income of $3.7 million and $6.3 million , respectively, related to the 42 self storage properties acquired. Acquisition costs in the accompanying statements of operations include consulting fees, transaction expenses, and other costs related to business combinations, which amounted to $2.9 million and $4.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 , respectively. Pro Forma Financial Information The pro forma financial information set forth below reflects adjustments to the historical data of the Company to give effect to the acquisitions and related financing activities for (i) 14 of the 15 self storage properties discussed in Note 12 that were acquired subsequent to September 30, 2015, as if each acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2014 (pro forma financial information is not presented for one of the self storage properties acquired subsequent to September 30, 2015 because the information required is not available to the Company), (ii) one of the 15 self storage properties acquired during the three months ended September 30, 2015, as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2014 (pro forma financial information is not presented for 14 of the self storage properties acquired during the three months ended September 30, 2015 since the information required is not available to the Company), (iii) each of the 21 self storage properties that were acquired during the three months ended June 30, 2015, as if each acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2014, and (iii) each of the six self storage properties that were acquired during the three months ended March 31, 2015, as if each acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2014 ( five of the six properties acquired during the three months ended March 31, 2015 were acquired on January 1, 2015 and are therefore included in the historical results for the entirety of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 ). As described in greater detail above, given that certain information with respect to the self storage properties we acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and subsequent to September 30, 2015 is not available to the Company, readers of this Form 10-Q and investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on our pro forma financial information.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract] | |
DEBT FINANCING | DEBT FINANCING The Company's outstanding debt as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 is summarized as follows (dollars in thousands): Interest September 30, December 31, Rate (1) 2015 2014 Credit Facility: Revolving line of credit 1.79% $ 111,975 $ 166,217 Term loan 2.75% 200,000 144,558 Unsecured term loan — — 50,000 Fixed rate mortgages payable 3.93% 184,006 153,416 Variable rate mortgages payable — — 83,500 Total $ 495,981 $ 597,691 (1) Represents the effective interest rate as of September 30, 2015 . Effective interest rate incorporates the stated rate plus the impact of interest rate cash flow hedges and discount and premium amortization, if applicable. For the revolving line of credit, the effective interest rate excludes fees for unused borrowings. Credit Facility On August 13, 2015, the Company entered into an amendment with a syndicated group of lenders consisting of 11 financial institutions to increase the total borrowing capacity under its unsecured credit facility (the "credit facility"), which was originally entered into on April 1, 2014, by $125.0 million for a total credit facility of $550.0 million . The Company has an additional expansion option under the credit facility, which if exercised, would provide for a total borrowing capacity of $700.0 million . The credit facility consists of two components: • A senior revolving credit facility (the "revolving line of credit"), which provides for a total borrowing commitment up to $350.0 million , whereby the Company may borrow, repay and re-borrow amounts under the revolving line of credit. The borrowing commitment is subject to a borrowing base calculation, which only includes self storage properties with an occupancy rate of at least 75% on a combined basis. As of September 30, 2015 , we had the capacity to borrow $238.0 million , subject to the borrowing base calculation. The Company is required to pay a fee which ranges from 0.20% to 0.25% of unused borrowings under the revolving line of credit. As of September 30, 2015 , the pricing grid under the revolving line of credit provides for an interest rate equal to one-month London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 1.60% . The revolving line of credit matures in March 2017 and the Company may elect an extension of the maturity date until March 2018 by paying an extension fee equal to 0.20% of the total borrowing commitment at the time of the extension. • A $200.0 million senior term loan (the "term loan") which provides that amounts borrowed may be repaid at any time but not re-borrowed. As of September 30, 2015 , the pricing grid under the term loan provides for an interest rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 1.50% . No principal payments are required under the term loan until the maturity date in March 2018. The terms of the credit facility limit the Company's ability to make distributions, incur additional debt, and acquire or sell significant assets. The credit facility requires compliance with certain financial and non-financial covenants, including a maximum total leverage ratio, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, and minimum net worth, which were not impacted by the increase amendment discussed above. At September 30, 2015 , we were in compliance with all such covenants. Unsecured Term Loan On April 1, 2014, the Company entered into a senior unsecured term loan (the "unsecured term loan") with a syndicated group of lenders consisting of three financial institutions. The unsecured term loan provided for maximum borrowings of $50.0 million . The loan originally matured on April 1, 2015 but was extended until October 1, 2015 in exchange for a prescribed fee of $250,000 . There was a mandatory repayment of this loan upon the occurrence of a capital event (such as completion of the Company's initial public offering) as defined in the loan agreement, and following the completion of our initial public offering, we used a portion of the net proceeds from our initial public offering to repay the $50.0 million unsecured term loan. The repayment resulted in a $0.2 million write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs. Prior to the repayment, payments were limited to interest only, to be paid on a monthly basis, and the outstanding principal balance bore interest at one-month LIBOR plus 5.00% . Fixed Rate Mortgages Payable Fixed rate mortgages have scheduled maturities at various dates through November 2024, and have effective interest rates that range from 2.20% to 5.00% . Principal and interest are generally payable monthly or in monthly interest-only payments with balloon payments due at maturity. As discussed in Note 5 , we assumed fixed rate mortgages of $49.9 million in connection with 17 of the properties acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 . We repaid $11.0 million of these assumed mortgages during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 . Variable Rate Mortgages Payable Variable rate mortgages had contractual maturities at various dates through October 2015, and had effective interest rates that ranged from 2.43% to 9.65% . Following the completion of our initial public offering during the three months ended June 30, 2015, we used a portion of the net proceeds from our initial public offering to repay all $83.5 million of the outstanding variable rate mortgages. In connection with the repayments, the Company incurred a $0.5 million prepayment penalty and recorded a $0.2 million write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs. Prior to the repayment, principal and interest on this debt was generally payable in monthly interest-only payments with balloon payments due at maturity. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
EARNINGS PER SHARE | EARNINGS PER SHARE The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively (in thousands, except per share amounts): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended 2015 2014 2015 2014 Earnings (loss) per common share - basic and diluted Numerator Net income (loss) $ 2,109 $ (5,025 ) $ (569 ) $ (13,986 ) Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests 2,263 5,025 8,405 13,986 Net income (loss) attributable to National Storage Affiliates Trust 4,372 — 7,836 — Distributed and undistributed earnings allocated to participating securities (3 ) — (6 ) — Net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders - basic 4,369 — 7,830 — Effect of assumed conversion of dilutive securities (2,275 ) — (5,646 ) — Net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders - diluted $ 2,094 $ — $ 2,184 $ — Denominator Weighted average shares outstanding - basic 23,000 1 12,924 1 Effect of dilutive securities: Weighted average OP units outstanding 21,109 — 13,773 — Weighted average DownREIT OP unit equivalents outstanding 1,432 — 949 — Weighted average LTIP units outstanding 1,844 — 1,030 — Subordinated performance units and DownREIT subordinated performance unit equivalents 16,071 — 10,082 — Weighted average shares outstanding - diluted 63,456 1 38,758 1 Earnings (loss) per share - basic $ 0.19 $ — $ 0.61 $ — Earnings (loss) per share - diluted $ 0.03 $ — $ 0.06 $ — As discussed in Note 3 , the Company did not have an ownership interest or share in our operating partnership's profits and losses prior to the completion of the Company's initial public offering. As a result, all of our operating partnership's profits and losses for the period from January 1, 2015 to April 28, 2015 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 were allocated to noncontrolling interests. Outstanding equity interests of our operating partnership and DownREIT partnerships are considered potential common shares for purposes of calculating diluted earnings (loss) per share as the unitholders may, through the exercise of redemption rights, obtain common shares, subject to various restrictions. Basic earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by further adjusting for the dilutive impact using the treasury stock method for unvested LTIP units subject to a service condition outstanding during the period and the if-converted method for any convertible securities outstanding during the period. Generally, following certain lock-out periods, OP units in our operating partnership are redeemable for cash or, at our option, exchangeable for common shares on a one -for-one basis, subject to certain adjustments and DownREIT OP units are redeemable for cash or, at our option, exchangeable for OP units in our operating partnership on a one -for-one basis, subject to certain adjustments in each case. LTIP units may also, under certain circumstances, be convertible into OP units, which are exchangeable for common shares as described above. Certain LTIP units vested prior to or upon the completion of the Company's initial public offering and certain LTIP units will vest upon the satisfaction of a future service condition. Vested LTIP units and unvested LTIP units that vest based on a service condition are allocated income or loss in a similar manner as OP units. Unvested LTIP units subject to a service condition are evaluated for dilution using the treasury stock method. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 , 364,817 unvested LTIP units that vest based on a service condition are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share as they are not dilutive to earnings (loss) per share. In addition, certain LTIP units vest upon the future acquisition of properties sourced by PROs. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 , 522,900 unvested LTIP units that vest upon the future acquisition of properties are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share because the contingency for the units to vest has not been attained as of the end of the reported periods. Subordinated performance units may also, under certain circumstances, be convertible into OP units which are exchangeable for common shares as described above, and DownREIT subordinated performance units may, under certain circumstances, be exchangeable for subordinated performance units on a one -for-one basis. Subordinated performance units are only convertible into OP units, after a two year lock-out period and then generally (i) at the holder’s election only upon the achievement of certain performance thresholds relating to the properties to which such subordinated performance units relate or (ii) at our election upon a retirement event of a PRO that holds such subordinated performance units or upon certain qualifying terminations. Although subordinated performance units and DownREIT subordinated performance units may only be convertible after a two year lock-out period, we assume a hypothetical conversion of each subordinated performance unit (including each DownREIT subordinated performance unit) into OP units (with subsequently assumed redemption into common shares) for the purposes of calculating diluted weighted average common shares. This hypothetical conversion is calculated using historical financial information prior to and since the completion of the Company's initial public offering on April 28, 2015, and as a result, is not necessarily indicative of the subsequent results of operations, cash flows or financial position of the Company following the initial public offering or upon expiration of the two-year lock out period on conversions. Participating securities, which consist of unvested restricted common shares, receive dividends equal to those received by common shares. The effect of participating securities for the periods presented above is calculated using the two-class method of allocating distributed and undistributed earnings. |

Related Party Transactions [Abstract] | |
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS | RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Supervisory and Administrative Fees The Company has entered into asset management agreements with the PROs to continue providing leasing, operating, supervisory and administrative services related to the self storage properties contributed by and acquired from the PROs. The PROs are the same entities that provided similar services prior to the respective dates that the self storage properties were contributed to or acquired by the Company. The asset management agreements generally provide for fees ranging from 5% to 6% of gross revenue for the managed self storage properties. During the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , the Company incurred $2.0 million and $1.2 million , respectively, for supervisory and administrative fees to the PROs and during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , the Company incurred $5.4 million and $2.9 million , respectively, for supervisory and administrative fees to the PROs. Such fees are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Affiliate Payroll Services The employees responsible for operation of the self storage properties are employees of the PROs who charge the Company for the costs associated with the respective employees. For the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , the Company incurred $3.5 million and $2.4 million , respectively, for payroll and related costs reimbursable to these affiliates, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , the Company incurred $9.6 million and $5.7 million , respectively, for payroll and related costs reimbursable to these affiliates. Such costs are included in property operating expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Affiliate Call Center Services On April 1, 2015, the Company acquired a centralized call center for 50,000 OP units from SecurCare, an affiliate of NSA Predecessor. Because the Company and SecurCare are under common control, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at SecurCare's historical carrying value, which was a nominal amount as of the acquisition date. SecurCare continues to manage call center services to support self storage property operations and the fees paid to SecurCare for these services for the three months ended September 30, 2015 are included in the supervisory and administrative fees discussed above. The call center utilizes approximately 1,500 square feet in one of the Company's self storage properties acquired from NSA Predecessor for annual rent of approximately $25,000 . Prior to the acquisition, for the three months ended September 30, 2014 , the Company incurred call center charges of $0.1 million , and for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , the Company incurred call center charges of $0.2 million and $0.3 million , respectively. Such call center costs are included in property operating expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Brokerage Fees During the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , the Company incurred fees of $0.3 million in connection with its acquisition of certain self-storage properties which were sourced by the PROs and during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 the Company incurred fees of $0.4 million and $0.3 million , respectively, in connection with its acquisition of certain self-storage properties which were sourced by the PROs. These expenses are included in acquisition costs in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. In connection with self-storage properties contributed by NSA Predecessor, during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 the Company recognized a $2.7 million contractually obligated transaction expense payable to SecurCare, an affiliate of NSA Predecessor. In April 2014, the Company issued subordinated performance units in full payment of this amount. Notes Receivable In connection with the planned acquisition of certain self storage properties, the Company made a bridge loan of approximately $8.0 million to a PRO on July 1, 2014. This loan did not bear interest and was repaid as the related self storage properties were acquired. Through December 31, 2014 , 13 of the self storage properties had been acquired and bridge loan advances totaling $6.2 million were applied to offset the acquisition consideration otherwise payable by the Company. As of December 31, 2014 , the bridge loan balance of $1.8 million is included in other assets in the accompanying balance sheet. In January 2015, the remaining balance of the bridge loan was applied to offset the acquisition consideration otherwise payable by the Company related to two self storage property acquisitions. Notes Payable During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , in connection with the acquisition of self storage properties owned in DownREIT partnerships, the Company entered into bridge loan agreements for $5.3 million payable to principals of the PRO that contributed the properties. The notes bore interest at a weighted average fixed rate of 3.3% and were fully repaid during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 . |

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | 9 Months Ended |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Recurring Fair Value Measurements We sometimes limit our exposure to interest rate fluctuations by entering into interest rate swap or cap agreements. The interest rate swap agreements moderate our exposure to interest rate risk by effectively converting the interest on variable rate debt to a fixed rate. The interest rate cap agreements effectively limit our exposure to interest rate risk by providing a ceiling on the underlying variable interest rate. Our interest rate cap agreements are not material to our financial position and results of operations. We measure our interest rate swap derivatives at fair value on a recurring basis. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly into earnings. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , the ineffective portion recorded in earnings was insignificant. Information regarding our interest rate swaps measured at fair value, which are classified within Level 2 of the GAAP fair value hierarchy, is presented below (dollars in thousands): Interest Rate Swaps Designated as Cash Flow Hedges Non-hedge accounting Interest Rate Swaps Total Fair value at December 31, 2013 $ — $ 70 $ 70 Unrealized losses included in interest expense — (142 ) (142 ) Losses on interest rate swaps reclassified into interest expense from accumulated other comprehensive loss 669 — 669 Unrealized losses included in accumulated other comprehensive loss (1,033 ) — (1,033 ) Fair value at September 30, 2014 $ (364 ) $ (72 ) $ (436 ) Fair value at December 31, 2014 $ (865 ) $ (207 ) $ (1,072 ) Unrealized losses included in interest expense — (63 ) (63 ) Designation of interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge (270 ) 270 — Losses on interest rate swaps reclassified into interest expense from accumulated other comprehensive loss 1,182 — 1,182 Unrealized losses included in accumulated other comprehensive loss (2,528 ) — (2,528 ) Fair value at September 30, 2015 $ (2,481 ) $ — $ (2,481 ) As of December 31, 2014 , the Company had outstanding interest rate swaps with aggregate notional amounts of $125.0 million designated as cash flow hedges and one interest rate swap with a notional amount of $7.6 million that was not designated as a cash flow hedge. During the three months ended September 30, 2015, the Company designated this interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge following the expansion of its credit facility. As of September 30, 2015 , the Company had outstanding interest rate swaps with aggregate notional amounts of $132.4 million designated as cash flow hedges. In addition, during the three months ended September 30, 2015, the Company executed trades for two additional interest rate swaps with aggregate notional amounts of $67.0 million . These interest rate swaps have an effective date of October 1, 2015 and were designated as cash flow hedges. As of September 30, 2015 , the Company's swaps had a weighted average remaining term of 2.6 years . The fair value of these swaps are presented within accounts payable and accrued liabilities in our balance sheets, and we recognize any changes in the fair value as an adjustment of accumulated other comprehensive loss within equity to the extent of their effectiveness. If the forward rates at September 30, 2015 remain constant, we estimate that during the next 12 months , we would reclassify into earnings approximately $1.7 million of the unrealized losses included in accumulated other comprehensive loss. If market interest rates increase above the 1.25% weighted average fixed rate under these interest rate swaps we will benefit from net cash payments due to us from our counterparty to the interest rate swaps. There were no transfers between levels during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 . For financial assets and liabilities that utilize Level 2 inputs, the Company utilizes both direct and indirect observable price quotes, including LIBOR yield curves. The Company uses valuation techniques for Level 2 financial assets and liabilities which include LIBOR yield curves at the reporting date as well as assessing counterparty credit risk. Counterparties to these contracts are highly rated financial institutions. Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with the Company's derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and the counterparties. As of September 30, 2015 , the Company determined that the effect of credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. Therefore, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations are appropriately classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Fair Value Disclosures The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade receivables, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities reflected in the balance sheets at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , approximate fair value due to the short term nature of these financial assets and liabilities. The carrying value of variable rate debt financing reflected in the balance sheets at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 approximates fair value as the changes in their associated interest rates reflect the current market and credit risk is similar to when the loans were originally obtained. The fair values of fixed rate mortgages were estimated using the discounted estimated future cash payments to be made on such debt; the discount rates used approximated current market rates for loans, or groups of loans, with similar maturities and credit quality (categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy). The combined carrying value of our fixed rate mortgages payable was approximately $184.0 million as of September 30, 2015 with a fair value of approximately $193.0 million . In determining the fair value, the Company estimated a weighted average market interest rate of approximately 3.16% , compared to the weighted average contractual interest rate of 5.10% . The combined carrying value of our fixed rate mortgages was approximately $153.4 million as of December 31, 2014 with a fair value of approximately $158.3 million . In determining the fair value as of December 31, 2014 , the Company estimated a weighted average market interest rate of approximately 3.59% , compared to the weighted average contractual interest rate of 5.11% . |

Subsequent Events [Abstract] | |
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS | SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Self Storage Property Acquisitions In October 2015, the Company acquired 15 self storage properties with an estimated fair value of approximately $67.8 million . Consideration for these acquisitions included approximately $36.7 million of net cash, the assumption and subsequent repayment of approximately $23.6 million in outstanding mortgage debt, and the vesting of approximately $1.4 million of LTIP units (consisting of approximately 99,000 of the 522,900 unvested LTIP units which vest upon the acquisition of properties). Certain of these self storage properties were acquired in DownREIT partnerships. The estimated fair value of noncontrolling interests associated with these partnerships was $6.1 million . Of these acquisitions, 14 were acquired by us from our PROs and one was acquired by us from a third-party seller. |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUN20
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies) | 9 Months Ended |
Sep. 30, 2015 | |
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are presented on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements have been included. |
Principles of Consolidation and Noncontrolling Interest | Noncontrolling Interests All of the limited partner equity interests in our operating partnership not held by the Company are reflected as noncontrolling interests. Noncontrolling interests also include ownership interests in DownREIT partnerships held by entities other than our operating partnership. In the consolidated statements of operations, we allocate net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests to arrive at net income (loss) attributable to National Storage Affiliates Trust. For transactions that result in changes to the Company's ownership interest in our operating partnership, the carrying amount of noncontrolling interests is adjusted to reflect such changes. The difference between the fair value of the consideration received or paid and the amount by which the noncontrolling interest is adjusted is reflected as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital on the consolidated balance sheets. Principles of Consolidation The Company's financial statements include the accounts of our operating partnership and its controlled subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation of entities. |
Variable Interest Entity | When the Company obtains an economic interest in an entity, the Company evaluates the entity to determine if the entity is deemed a variable interest entity ("VIE"), and if the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary, in accordance with authoritative guidance issued on the consolidation of VIEs. When an entity is not deemed to be a VIE, the Company considers the provisions of additional guidance to determine whether the general partner controls a limited partnership or similar entity when the limited partners have certain rights. The Company consolidates (i) entities that are VIEs and of which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary, and (ii) entities that are non-VIEs which the Company controls and which limited partners lack both substantive participating rights and the ability to dissolve or remove the Company without cause. |
Reclassifications | Reclassifications Certain amounts in the financial statements and related notes have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications do not impact our previously reported financial position or net income (loss). |
Allocation of Net Income (Loss) | Allocation of Net Income (Loss) The distribution rights and priorities set forth in our operating partnership's LP Agreement differ from what is reflected by the underlying percentage ownership interests of the unitholders. Accordingly, we allocate GAAP income (loss) utilizing the hypothetical liquidation at book value ("HLBV") method, in which we allocate income or loss based on the change in each unitholders’ claim on the net assets of our operating partnership at period end after adjusting for any distributions or contributions made during such period. The HLBV method is commonly applied to equity investments where cash distribution percentages vary at different points in time and are not directly linked to an equity holder’s ownership percentage. The HLBV method is a balance sheet-focused approach. A calculation is prepared at each balance sheet date to determine the amount that unitholders would receive if our operating partnership were to liquidate all of its assets (at GAAP net book value) and distribute the resulting proceeds to its creditors and unitholders based on the contractually defined liquidation priorities. The difference between the calculated liquidation distribution amounts at the beginning and the end of the reporting period, after adjusting for capital contributions and distributions, is used to derive each unitholder's share of the income (loss) for the period. Due to the stated liquidation priorities and because the HLBV method incorporates non-cash items such as depreciation expense, in any given period, income or loss may be allocated disproportionately to unitholders as compared to their respective ownership percentage in our operating partnership, and net income (loss) attributable to National Storage Affiliates Trust could be more or less net income than actual cash distributions received and more or less income or loss than what may be received in the event of an actual liquidation. Additionally, the HLBV method could result in net income attributable to National Storage Affiliates Trust during a period when the Company reports a consolidated net loss, or net income attributable to National Storage Affiliates Trust in excess of the Company's consolidated net income. |
Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) | Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) We have cash flow hedge derivative instruments that are measured at fair value with unrealized gains or losses recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) with a corresponding adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive loss within equity, as discussed further in Note 11 . Under the HLBV method of allocating income (loss) discussed above, a calculation is prepared at each balance sheet date by applying the HLBV method including, and excluding, the assets and liabilities resulting from our cash flow hedge derivative instruments to determine comprehensive income (loss) attributable to National Storage Affiliates Trust. As a result of the distribution rights and priorities set forth in our operating partnership's LP Agreement, all amounts of consolidated other comprehensive income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 were allocated to noncontrolling interests, as presented within the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income or loss. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASU 2014-09 will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective. ASU 2014-09 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2018, with early application permitted for the Company on January 1, 2017. ASU 2014-09 permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting. In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, which modifies the current consolidation guidance. The Company is required to adopt ASU 2015-02 for annual and interim financial statements issued for the year ending December 31, 2016. Upon adoption by the Company, ASU 2015-02 permits the use of either the modified retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of ASU 2015-02 on its consolidation policies as well as the transition method to be used to implement ASU 2015-02. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest—Imputation of Interest, which requires the presentation of debt issuance costs as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liabilities. The Company does not expect ASU 2015-03 to have a material impact on the Company's results from operations, however, adoption will result in the elimination of debt issuance costs as an asset and a corresponding reduction in the carrying amount of the Company's debt financings applied retrospectively to all periods. The Company is required to adopt this ASU for annual and interim financial statements issued for the year ending December 31, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2015-03 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, Business Combinations—Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments, which requires an acquirer of a business to recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the business combination's measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined rather than retrospectively. ASU 2015-16 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2016, with early application permitted. The Company elected to adopt ASU 2015-16 during the three months ended September 30, 2015. |
