Neighbours use of garage

[marthadearr]

Our neighbours asked to borrow our garage for a week and it’s been a month now and it’s still being used. Should I politely tell them to take the car or do I let them have it as we use the drive for ours?

Just tell them the agreement has come to an end.

Charge them rent.

Doesn't matter if you only use the drive. Say you need to use it yourself for storage or something and tell them they need to move their car by tomorrow (or a date that suits you).

Just tell them you agreed a week, and its now been a lot longer - they need to make an alternative arrangement.
WHy did they suddenly need to use your garage anyway?

It belongs to you. Take it back. Obviously. Or charge them rent.

Can you not just speak to them and find out how longer they are thinking they'd want it for. If there answer is longer than you are willing to let them use it, then ask them to move, saying that is not going to work for you.

Go round and say thst you need the garage back. If you're feeling generous give them a coue of days notice.

Round here council garages are now £15 a week!

What are they using it for? Do they have their own garage?

Just say you need it back.

Erm no!!! Tell them you want it back!

Tell you need it back as you have things to be store there say by next week - end if they have no immediate place to use.

Why are they still using it? I’d be telling them the agreement has expired.

I had similar. I just knocked & asked when the car was going to be moved. It was gone within half an hour, and they brought me a bottle of wine to say thank you!

Hi, I need you to finish up in my garage this weekend as I need it back. Can you be cleared out by Sunday lunchtime please?

Is there a legitimate reason why it has taken longer?

Tell them it needs to be moved.

Grow a spine.

You need to tell them the agreement is over because the longer it goes on they'll accept it as normal and if you do need the garage they are less likely to return it quickly. They are CFs

Oh yes, be stern about this!
