Apply to rent a Council garage

Garages to rent

We have a number of garages throughout South Cambridgeshire, which can be rented by anyone in the district.

Let us know your preferred village location when you apply to rent a garage and we'll see what we have available. If the site you prefer is not available at the moment, you can still apply and be placed on the waiting list for that garage site.

You can still apply for a garage, even if you already have one and need another garage.

You will not be eligible if:

• you have rent arrears for a South Cambridgeshire home or garage
• you owe money from a former tenancy with us
• you have previously had a South Cambridgeshire garage repossessed
• you give false information when applying for a garage.

Prices

Our garages are not rented out for storage purposes. You will need to confirm that you own a vehicle, and provide details of the type of vehicle and registration number.

All applicants will be asked to provide 4 weeks rent in advance.

Next steps

We will send a letter to you within 10 days of receipt of the application form. 

The letter will tell you if there is a vacant garage in your chosen area and offer this to you, or that you have been placed on a waiting list. 

If we offer you a garage, you will need to contact us and arrange to sign a garage tenancy agreement. 

We will also tell you if you need to supply a padlock to lock the garage, or if you need to collect a key from us.

Ending your garage tenancy

You must give 4 clear weeks written notice. You can do this by sending an email to duty.housing@scambs.gov.uk or writing to the following address:

You need to include:

• your name
• address
• the garage address 

If your garage has keys, we will not terminate the tenancy until these have been received by us in the office. 

We take no responsibility for any keys that are lost in the post and you may incur further costs.

We will write back to you within 10 days of receipt of your letter to confirm the termination date for the garage tenancy.

When your garage tenancy is being terminated, you must make sure that:

• your garage has been cleared and left clean and tidy
• any rent due on the garage is paid up until the date of termination.
• any garage keys are returned to us, either on the day of termination or before. Failure to do this will result in rent being charged to you until the keys are received.
