|
|
too long, the Council may decide to repossess the garage. </i></p><hr/><p>Unlike house and flats,
|
|
the Council do not have to apply to courts for a Possession Order.</p><p>The Council operates a policy of automatic repossession should a third Notice to
|
|
Quit be served on a garage regardless of whether the account is subsequently cleared.</p><p>Should a garage be repossessed and be found to contain goods, the tenant will be
|
|
contacted and asked to removed them. Should the Council have to clear the garage,
|
|
the cost of the clearance along with the cost of a lock change should one have been
|
|
necessary, will be charged to the former tenant. This is in addition to any arrears
|
|
outstanding.</p><p>Most arrears cases can be dealt with relatively simply provided tenants get in
|
|
contact early enough. Ignoring the situation can only make matters worse.</p><p>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.</p><p>There may also be a waiting list for garages in your area. Please contact us for
|
|
more details.</p><span class="gen">email address here</span><span class="gen">phone number here</span><span class="gen">sms phone number here</span><span class="gen">fax number here</span><span class="gen">minicom number here</span><span class="gen">postal address here</span><h3>
