Garages

No, You must meet and continue to meet the following criteria to be on the garage waiting list:  

• You must live or work within the borough;
• You must be up to date with all payments due to the council;
• Applications are only accepted from individuals, not from companies or organisations

Yes. We will not offer you a garage to rent if you are not up to date with payments due to the council. In addition, we will terminate any garage tenancies you have if you fail to keep up to date with all payments due to the council.

When allocating garages we use a date order system. Priority is given to those who are currently tenants of our dwellings. However, many garages are rented to other individuals where there are vacancies.

Yes, you can rent a second or third garage. However, we will only consider this if there is no one else on the list waiting to rent their first garage.

The primary purpose of the garage is to store a taxed and insured motor vehicle. Other items can be stored with the motor vehicle, but you should not store petroleum or any other flammable liquid or substance, other than in the petrol tank of the vehicle. You should also remember that garages can be vulnerable to theft of items stored inside.

No. You should have your own insurance for any items you leave in your garage. These should be insured against theft, loss and damage.

You need to inform us. We are usually happy to agree to this and will undertake all the necessary paperwork to ensure your rent payments continue to be received for your tenancy.

No, sub-letting is a breach of your tenancy agreement.
