Rent a garage on a housing estate
Rent a garage on a housing estate
You can apply to rent a garage on a housing estate to store your car or belongings.
You should not store anything that may be a fire risk.
Check if you can apply
If you're a council tenant, you should check your tenancy conditions to see if you‘re eligible. You cannot rent a garage if you're in rent arrears.
If you're a leaseholder, you cannot rent a garage if you have service charge arrears.
If a tenant management organisation (TMO) manages your estate, you need to apply to them directly.
How we prioritise applications
There are limited garages on our housing estates and we prioritise applications in this order:
- Blue Badge holders living on the estate
- tenants and leaseholders living on the estate
- Blue Badge holders on neighbouring estates
- tenants and leaseholders on neighbouring estates
- council staff, Business and non-Camden residents
Cost of renting a garage
Blue badge holders
Blue Badge holders do not pay for a garage. You only pay if you apply for a second garage.
Charges for council tenants
Council tenants are charged £16 per week for a garage. This is paid every Monday with your rent.
Council staff, business and non-Camden residents
Garage rental charges vary according to the estate. View weekly rent charges (PDF)
How to apply
To apply for a garage you need to:
- select ‘view garages in Camden’- all available garages will be shown as green dots on a map
- select the garage that you’d like to rent and select ‘apply here’ to complete the application form
You can still complete an application form if your chosen garage shows as a grey area on the map. We'll add you to the waiting list.
What happens next
We’ll review your application and check if the garage is still available. If it is, we’ll email and ask you to provide your:
- proof of address
- Blue Badge (if relevant)
If you have a Blue Badge, your garage is free from the date that we receive your evidence.
If no garages are available
We’ll add your name to a waiting list.
If you need to park your vehicle, you can get a permit to park on an estate.
If you need storage space, you can rent a shed.
If you do not pay your rent
You must keep your payments up to date. If you owe rent, you must contact the Housing Income team by emailing rentsupport@camden.gov.uk or calling 020 7974 4444. They’re here to help.
We’ll give you written notice if you do not clear your debt. After clearing your debt, you’ll need to reapply for a garage.
