Conditions of Tenancy - Chapter 12

Vehicles

This section explains the rules on vehicles.

You, your friends and relatives, and any other person living in or visiting the property (including children), must not do the following.

12.1 Park any vehicle anywhere on the property unless the property has a garage, a parking space or a drive with a dropped kerb.

12.1a You must get our written permission for a dropped kerb. We or our approved contractor may carry out the work, but we will charge you for the cost of the work. If you are disabled, you may pay a reduced cost.

12.2 Build a parking space, garage or drive without our written permission.

12.2a If we give our permission to build a parking space, garage or drive, it must be built to a standard design. We will withdraw our permission if any parking space, garage, dropped kerb or drive causes a nuisance.

12.3 Park any motor home, caravan, boat, trailer or business vehicle which weighs more than 1,000 kilograms at the property.

12.4 Receive payment for repairing any vehicle at the property. If we suspect that you are being paid for repairing a vehicle, we may ask you to prove that you own the vehicle.

12.5 Cause nuisance to neighbours or damage to pathways, drives and so on through leakages or spillages (for example, oil spillage when repairing your vehicle).

12.6 Park any vehicle, motor home, trailer, caravan or boat which is illegal, not roadworthy, or in a poor condition on any land we own. If you do, we may remove the vehicle. We will charge you a reasonable cost for removing it. We may also take legal action against you.

12.6a We will not be responsible for any damage to your vehicle if we have to remove it.

12.7 Park any vehicle on a grassed area.

12.8 Park any vehicle in an area that is not set aside for parking, for example, on the paved or tarmacked area outside a multi-storey block of flats.

12.9 Park any vehicle on an area set aside for emergency vehicles, or park in any area which would block access for emergency vehicles or bin lorries.

12.10 Store or repair motorbikes inside your property or in the shared areas.

12.11 Sell, rent or give away a parking space which we provide for you.

12.12 Double-park vehicles or park in a way which causes obstructions to pedestrians or other road users, including emergency services' vehicles.

12.13 Allow anyone, other than your family, visitors and friends, to park at the property.
