Got a garage? - make some money!

skintchick

I have just done this and thought others might be able to as well.

I have a garage that I don;t use as I park my car on the drive. I have just rented it out as storage for £45/month for seven months, paid upfront, which is £315 towards my pesky credit card debt.

I used to rent it out for £50/month a while ago but the tenant never paid on time, so this time I agreed a pay-up-front deal which gives me a lump sum, and the option to extend the period later.

Most people I know don;t use their garages, so I thought other people could do this too? Advertise in your local paper or for free on gumtree.com (where I got my tenant from although he was advertising for storage space).

Hope this helps someone.

Could I grow some *ahem* plants in your garage? Your electricity bill might go up a bit though

Didn't realise brocolli was illegal...??

On a more serious note - how are you fixed for insurance (theft, water damage etc).

Have a Garage boot type of sale. You would be amazed what prices some people pay for what you consider junk.

I've got a contract saying insurance, legality of goods, etc., is the responsibility of the tenant. Anyway, I've seen the stuff and it's all a set for a theatre company, mostly bits of wood!
