How do I calculate the corresponding reduction in rent for the reduction in storage space.

The timeline is usually addressed in the corresponding Contract with expectations outlined and any penalties or rewards firmly stated in that section.Funny, but I found that customers wanted a penalty for late performance, i.e. $500 a day for late completion.

As @Travis Biziorek mentioned, you can get a pretty high price/rent ratio in the city, but there are corresponding higher risks. 

I understand no contract was signed, but if there is correspondence you can provide when going to court that show there were written agreements of service, and you paid him in a way you can track (PayPal, Check, etc and not cash) then you stand a chance in the argument.
