Terms and conditions

We reserve the right to refuse an application if your housing rent or service charge account is in arrears. If your account goes into arrears your garage will be repossessed. If you are a council tenant and get behind with your rent for your home, we may end your garage agreement, even if you do not owe rent for the garage.

We have discretion to vary the licence fee, other charges or any terms of the licence by giving seven days' written notice.

Rents can be paid weekly or monthly but must be paid in advance. You will be required to complete a Direct Debit mandate form at the time you accept the garage license.  An advance payment must be made to cover any rent charges until the first Direct Debit is due.
