Garage or parking space rental agreement

Published byDocMuse

Letting a garage or a parking space works differently from letting a home: what matters is the number of the space, how access is given, and what may be done inside. The contract limits use to parking, rules out storing flammable materials and carrying out repairs, and lists the keys, fobs and remotes handed over, which are returned when it ends.

Common questions

Can I keep belongings in the garage I am renting?

Only if that is agreed. The contract limits use to parking and rules out storing flammable and dangerous materials, because that affects the building's insurance and liability in a fire. If you need storage, write it into the subject matter expressly.

Can I service my car inside?

The contract does not allow it. Repair work in a garage in a block of flats creates noise, fumes and risk, and is usually forbidden by the building's own rules too. The clause exists so that a dispute with the neighbours does not arrive through the landlord.

What happens to the remote and the fob when I leave?

They are returned, which is why they are listed at handover. Keys, fobs and barrier remotes are means of access to the whole building — a remote not returned is a reason to withhold from the deposit and to change the code.

Can I pass the space on to someone else?

Not without the landlord's written consent. A parking space is often tied to the building's rules and to who has access to the underground car park, so changing the user is not a matter between you and the landlord alone.
