Your name will then be placed on the list and you will receive a letter advising you of your chosen areas.
Once a garage becomes available and you reach the top of the list, you will receive a letter offering the tenancy. If you don't wish to take the garage or we have no reply within seven days from the date of the offer letter, the offer will be withdrawn and the garage offered to the next person on the list. There is no penalty for refusing the garage.
If you decide to accept the offer you will need to call into either the Town Hall or neighbourhood house bringing two forms of ID with you, and then sign two copies of the tenancy agreement. The tenancy will then start from the following Monday.
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO
Rent needs to be paid promptly, this can be done by card at any post office or by direct debit monthly on the 15th of each month. If you do not pay your rent we have the right to end the tenancy and change the locks on the garage, you will then be billed for this plus the any costs to clear the garage of its contents.
You must keep the garage in a clean and proper condition and in general look after and care for the garage. You will also be held responsible for the cost of any repairs other than those caused by fair wear and tear.
If you want to terminate the tenancy we will require one weeks notice, this can be done over the telephone or in person at any housing office.
