Rent a shed on a housing estate
Rent a shed on a housing estate
If you need extra storage, you can apply to rent a shed on a housing estate.
You should not store anything that may be a fire risk.
Check if you’re eligible
If the shed area is key or fob protected, only residents from that block can apply.
If you’re a council tenant, you cannot rent a shed if you have rent arrears.
If you're a leaseholder, you cannot rent a shed if you have service charge arrears.
How we prioiritise
There are a limited number of sheds 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 shed
A shed costs £3 per week. If you’re a tenant, this is paid every Monday with your rent.
How to apply
To apply for a shed you need to:
- select ‘view available sheds’- all available sheds will be shown as green dots on a map
- select the shed 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 shed 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 shed is still available. If it is, we’ll email and ask you to provide your:
- proof of address
- Blue Badge (if relevant)
If no sheds are available
We’ll add your name to a waiting list and contact you when a shed becomes available.
You can also rent a garage.
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.
If you do not pay what you owe, we’ll give you written notice. You’ll need to reapply for a shed after clearing your debt.

If you're vacating a shed
You must give us 10 days' notice by emailing estateparking@camden.gov.uk. Keys should be returned to estate parking by post or in-person at our Pancras Square office.
If you're moving home as well, all keys and fobs can be returned to your Neighbourhood Housing Officer or our reception. You’ll be asked to complete a notice of vacation form.
