Rent a shed on a housing estate

This is the improved Camden website. Tell us what you think.

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:   

  1. Blue Badge holders living on the estate  
  2. Tenants and leaseholders living on the estate   
  3. Blue Badge holders on neighbouring estates  
  4. Tenants and leaseholders on neighbouring estates  
  5. 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.
