The Residential Tenancy Agreement states the below:
ADDITIONAL TERM – GARAGE, STORGAE CAGE, OPEN CAR SPCAE OR OTHER STORAGE FACILITY
(This clause does not apply if there is no garage, storage cage, open car space or other storage facility on the residential premises)
77. The tenant agrees that if the premises include a garage, then the garage is provided for the purpose of parking a motor vehicle and not for storage of goods or personal belongings.
78. The landlord gives no undertaking as to the security and/or waterproofing of any garage, storage cage, open car space or any other storage facility on the residential premises and accepts no liability for damage to such garage, storage cage, open car space or any other storage facility or to anything stored therein.
It is important for both Tenants and Landlords to know and understand this.
At Arnold Property all tenants are advised and encouraged to take out their own Renters Insurance to cover their contents and valuables.
Landlords are also encouraged to carry out maintenance on their Garages, Carpets, Sheds etc. to minimise any damage that might be caused by a severe weather event.
