Item 8.01.  Other Events.

On April 3, 2009, U-Store-It Trust (the “Company”) and U-Store-It, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”) entered into a Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“CF&Co”) under which the Company may offer and sell up to 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common shares of beneficial interest, $0.01 par value per share (the “Shares”) from time to time in a controlled equity offering program with CF&Co acting as the Company’s agent and/or principal. Sales of the Shares, if any, under the program will depend upon market conditions and others factors to be determined by the Company and may be made in negotiated transactions or transactions that are deemed to be “at-the-market offerings” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including sales made directly on the New York Stock Exchange or sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange. The Company has no obligation to sell any Shares in the program, and may at any time suspend solicitation and offers under the program or terminate the program. The compensation payable to CF&Co for sales of the Shares sold pursuant to the Sales Agreement shall be equal to up to three percent (3.0%) of the gross sales price per common share for any Shares sold under the Sales Agreement.

A prospectus supplement relating to the Shares will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration of qualification under the securities laws of any such state. A copy of the Sales Agreement is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
