There is a number of ways you can pay your rent.

Pay your rent

After you've applied

When you accept a garage tenancy you must complete a direct debit form and you must pay by this method. 

If you do not keep up garage rent payments we will write to you, and if you fail to pay we will repossess the garage.

What you can use the garage for

Garages are intended for the storage of a motor vehicle. They are not sufficiently weather tight or secure for the storage of any other goods. If you do store other goods, it will be at your own risk.

What you cannot use the garage for

You cannot:

  • use the garage or forecourt in connection with a business
  • store petrol or any other flammable or combustible material
  • cause nuisance or obstruction to other garage users or people living nearby
  • alter the garage – it is your own responsibility to repair or replace the lock if it's damaged whilst you are renting it
  • sublet the garage to anyone else

Ending your garage tenancy

You can end your garage tenancy by giving two weeks notice. You must hand the keys back at the end of the notice period. If you do not, you'll be charged for the lock to be changed. 

Your garage should be empty and swept through before you hand back your keys. We'll charge you if we have to clear it.
