Garages - rent arrears
Where rent arrears rise to an unacceptable level or an account is in arrears for more than one month, the Council will repossess the garage, by issuing a seven day Notice to Quit, regardless of whether the account is subsequently cleared. The council does not have to apply to the courts for a Possession Order.
Should a garage be repossessed and be found to contain goods, the tenant will be contacted and asked to remove them. The council will dispose of all items within 28 days. Should the council have to clear the garage, the cost of the clearance along with the cost of a lock change will be charged to the former tenant. This is in addition to any arrears outstanding.
Get in touch early
Most arrears cases can be dealt with relatively simply provided tenants get in contact early enough. Ignoring the situation can only make matters worse. If you are experiencing difficulties, please contact Central Bedfordshire Housing Team.
Due to the low level of rent compared to a house or flat, some may regard garage rent as 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 Central Government.
There may be a waiting list for garages in your area.
