Adam | I need your opinion- landlord issues (using our rented area for their stuff)? |
Hi all! I just received an email from my landlords basically saying get your stuff out of our garage- we're bringing a truckload of furniture to put in there for storage.
We are in a college town, rent is high here on the central coast- and we got a fair rate from these landlords whom we "know" (friends of the family type). However, we were able to use the garage for the full year we have been here- So we are paying for it. The email they sent offered no compensation for rent, and we use this garage constantly for cars, changing oil, storage, study area, etc).
I personally feel we are having a paid resource taken away- but I'm new to renting.
The landlords are very new- we are the first renters, and we make a written rental agreement. It stated nothing about the garage, except we could rent it out if we wanted to for extra cash. (We never did because we heavily used it)
My car is always in there- I have basic insurance coverage on an older Camaro i'm trying to keep in good shape. The driveways trees leak sap thats impossible to get off the car if left out for a long time- making the garage very important to me. You cannot park on the street in this neighborhood.
The email was personally demanding, but like I said i'm new to renting. What are my rights or options?
Thank you so much! :) |

Since you have a written lease, even though it only states you may rent out the garage for extra income, have that and your landlord's email reviewed by a licensed attorney specializing in housing law. |

I'm not a lawyer, but it seems to me that if you have a statement in writing from your landlords that you can sublet the garage, then the obvious implication/inference is that it's part of the property you're renting. Unless someone more savvy advises otherwise, I reommend sending them a politely bewildered letter or email saying that it has been your understanding from the beginning that the garage was part of what you've been paying rent on, as their statement that you could rent it to someone else would lead anyone to believe. You might even ask them to reduce your rent by some reasonable amount if you can't continue to use the garage. ("Reasonable amount": in this MIddle Atlantic multiple-university city, we pay $100 a month to rent a garage.) However, if you don't have a lease, be aware that they can probably evict you on short notice. |

A landlord cannot change the terms of a contract in the middle of lease. You rented the property, which includes the garage. If you are paying rent for the property and the rental agreement did not state they could use the garage for their own personal storage, they cannot take it back without altering the terms of the contract.
I'd talk to them and tell them your concerns. You have no where else to park without risking damage to your vehicle. You understand what they are trying to do, but a storage unit is only about $30-$40 a month. Try to work this out amicably, because it can destroy your relationship with them otherwise.
If they are friends of the family, have your family talk to them to. Let your parents tell them you are freaking out about this. Have the adults try to come to more a reasonable agreement. But be aware that you may have to move- since they are friends of the family and I assume you are getting a very reasonable deal on the property. |

All of the above answers are true. But there is one detail here I must question. The OP said they have been there for the full year. That means if they signed a one year's lease, that lease has now ended and they are probably on a month to month agreement. *IF* that is true, and the OP is no longer covered under lease, those terms are no longer guaranteed, and the LL can change the terms at anytime by providing you with the appropriate written notice of that change. (If you are still under lease, the LL cannot change the terms.)
They did send a notice to you telling you that the garage was no longer to be yours and that you needed to remove your things. If you are no longer under lease, the only issue left to be addressed is did the LL give you the appropriate amount of notice for this change? The OP only mentions "central coast" - that could mean CA or NC (both have areas called "central coast"). If in CA, the LL needs to give 30 days notice to change rental terms. In NC, the statute states how much time is needed to vacate (only 7 days), but is unclear on the amount of notice to change terms. So I would say if the LL gave 30 days notice for this and the tenant is now a m2m tenant, the LL can change the terms to remove your garage use. If you are no longer under lease, you either accept this or give notice to move out. |
