    Given that I would be happy you are secure and they can access without causing you any issue and you don't need to be there.

    I would not charge it is a guest parking their vehicle in the garage.

    probably overthinking now,

    Garages are designed(or should be) to store vehicles as they pose a fire risk. eg. fire doors to house, also ceilings and walls if integral.

    Was the stud partition build to meet any regulations that may apply?

    Now for really overthinking
    you could also go one stage further and make sure that should they die there is someone that will come and pick up the bikes(executors)

    Garage isn't integral, or attached to the house.
    AFAIK the stud partition wasn't built to any particular spec, it was purely to separate the space into two separate areas.

    Both our wills are now invalid, due to the divorce. Daughter would inherit if he died before making a new one. Daughter is likely to be the/an executor when he gets around to making a new one.
    Don't know about his house-mate :think:

    I think I'll say yes to allowing the bikes to be stored there.
    I never planned to charge them, but the offer was made as they would have to pay (considerably more) for storage elsewhere.
    I won't charge them for the storage, but if ex wants to contribute towards the expense of having student daughter living back at home (she's in her final year, on placement and can only give me a token amount), I wouldn't refuse.
    Everything will be alright in the end so, if it’s not yet alright, it means it’s not yet the end
