I see you can rent a garage from your local council, whether you are a tenant of theirs or not! This is just an example.
=============================================
Rent a garage from us
We have garages available to rent at various sites across Cambridge, available to residents, leaseholders and commuters. Some areas are more popular than others, so there may be a waiting list.
Rent currently starts from £9.36 per week plus VAT. Cambridge City Council tenants are not required to pay VAT.
Four weeks' rent and a £50 deposit is required on the day you sign up, and all private tenants are required to pay by Direct Debit.
Our map (below) shows where our garages are and how many garages we own in each block. The information is also in our list of garages [PDF].
If you have any questions about renting a garage, or need any repairs for your garage, contact our customer service centre.
Apply
Download an application form [RTF, 301kB] and return it to the north area housing office or south area housing office.
If you are offered a garage you will be required to sign a Garage Agreement, which outlines your responsibilities on usage of the garage. We will not issue an agreement to Cambridge City Council tenants or leaseholders who are in arrears with their rent or service charges.
Priority will be given to existing council tenants and applicants with restricted mobility.
| Tenant details | Priority | Weekly cost |
|---|---|---|
| Residential tenants of Cambridge City Council (for storing modes of transport only) | 1 | £9.36 |
| Residents / council leaseholders living within half a mile walk from garage (for storing modes of transport only) | 1 | £9.36 + VAT |
| Other residents within the city boundary (for storing modes of transport only) | 2 | £11.36 + VAT |
| Public bodies and charities (for storing modes of transport only) | 3 | £15.63 + VAT |
| 4 | £17.63 + VAT |
Using your garage
You may use the garage for domestic use to keep a private mode of transport in, as well as to store bicycles, personal household or garden items. However, if you use the garage solely for storage purposes, you must pay the higher rate rent (see table above). Large-scale vehicle repairs are not permitted.
You are responsible for your garage, which includes reporting any repairs that are needed. Your garage agreement may be terminated if we receive complaints about noise or nuisance caused by you or visitors.
We will carry out any necessary repairs to the garage; routine repairs are usually carried out within 28 days. Any damage caused by misuse of the garage will be repaired, however the cost of the repair recharged to you.
Ending an agreement
If you wish to end your Garage Agreement, you must give at least one full week's notice in writing to your local housing office.
You agree to return your garage clean and clear of all items and return the keys to your garage to us promptly. If you fail to meet these conditions you will be charged for any clearance costs.
If you break any part of the agreement we will issue a Notice to Quit (this will end your agreement) and take possession of the garage. You will also be charged for forced entry, clearance, and a lock change. If you incur any costs they will be deducted from your deposit.
