Did you know that if your garage is smaller than standard you should be paying a reduced charge?
We have just found out that we have been overcharged for our garage for the last year and a half thanks to a neighbour who is clued-up when it comes to JSP 464. See below:
- Garages / car-ports. Garages and car-ports allocated to Service personnel
(whether or not used for storing vehicles) are to be charged at the appropriate standard or sub-standard Garage or Car-Port charge for each car space. A garage or car-port which measures less than 5.3 x 3.0 m clear internally10, or a garage which is determined by a Board of Officers to be of such insubstantial construction as not to provide adequate security qualifies for a sub-standard charge. Private vehicles are stored at the sole risk of their owners.
Standard garage charge £0.80 per day
Sub-standard garage charge £0.54 per day
Standard Car port £0.40 per day
Sub-standard car port £0.27 per day
Check your DH's pay statement and measure your garage/car port to make sure you're not being overcharged. And if you are complain to the Area Housing Manager asap!!
