Renting a garage

Due to the Coronavirus outbreak and the need to eliminate all unnecessary contact, garage lettings have been suspended for the time being. We will resume this service as soon as it is practical to do so.

Cornwall Council garages are now let on a ‘first come, first serve basis’. This replaces the former waiting list system therefore if you previously had an application form in our system you should have been notified by post of the process change.

Garages are available to rent to both non council tenants and council tenants.

Weekly rent is:

• £14.51* for non-council tenants or
• £10.45 for a council tenant 
  * inclusive of VAT

Monthly rent is:

• £62.88* for non-council tenants or
• £45.28 for a council tenant
  * inclusive of VAT

Applicants must pay the rent monthly by direct debit, with one month’s rent in advance when you get the keys. Applicants are required to provide the following information at the sign up appointment:

• proof of ID and proof of address (utility bills, bank statements and tenancy agreements will be acceptable),
• bank details for direct debit mandate
• monthly payment (shown above) in cash or cheque, made payable to Cornwall Council for the first month’s rent.

Please note: If you are a tenant with arrears you will not be considered eligible for garage rental.
