Garage Rent Arrears
When rent arrears rise to an
unacceptable level or an account is in arrears for too long, we may decide to
repossess the garage. Should a garage be repossessed and be found to contain goods, the tenant will be
contacted and asked to remove them. Should we have to clear the garage, the cost of the clearance, along
with the cost of a lock change, if necessary, will be charged to the former resident. This is in addition to any
arrears outstanding.

Most
arrears cases can be dealt with relatively simply provided the resident
contacts us in good time. Ignoring
the situation will only make matters worse.

Due
to the low level of rent compared to a house or flat, some may regard
garage rent as a low priority. However,
we have a duty to recover all rent owed to the council to fund the services we provide. We are also required to
maintain overall levels of outstanding rent including garage rent, within limits set by government.
