Decision details

To approve the updated garage licence agreement for use by Cheltenham Borough Homes in performance of its functions under the CBC/CBH Management Agreement, dated 1^st April 2015.

The attached licence agreement has been updated to reflect current working practices and includes a more comprehensive range of conditions. The main changes are as follows:

• Licensees will be permitted to keep something other than a car in the garage. The licence also makes clear that any goods kept there will be at the licensee’s liability, and that no dangerous substances are permitted.
• The license will be weekly instead of monthly, but the Notice period remain at 4 weeks.
• Rent will have to be paid 4 weekly in advance by direct debit. (Previously the licence did not specify the number of weeks that was required to be paid.)
• CBH will be able to end the licence immediately if any of the conditions are breached.
• The documentation makes it clear that this is a licence, and not a tenancy.
• The licence also makes it clear that the licensee will be recharged for repairs due to damage, clearance or lock changes.
• The licensee will be required to inform CBH of any changes in their address or personal details within 7 days.
• CBH will have the right to move vehicles blocking garages or access on garage sites.    

None.

This was an internal review within CBH to consolidate current working practices.
