• Late Father's Possessions In A Rented Garage

    By Guest on 14th May 2018

    Sorry to bother you and hope that you can help. My father passed away in January and he was renting a garage in Ramsgate with someone he knew. We didn't find out about the garage until March when my mum came across some details from Caxtons who rented the garage and it said he was paying £35 a month to rent it off of them. The lady who owns the garage got in touch in march and asked when it was being emptied but due to my mum not driving and work and family commitments we couldn't get down until April. I got in touch and she said that she hasn't received any rent since December and it would be £60 a month. I said I would empty the garage or get someone to drive a van to empty it but she started getting funny and said that my mum owes £180 before we are allowed to get my dad's things. She said she cut the lock off and changed it as she wants to sell so I am meant to be going down tomorrow and Wednesday to empty it. My mum can not afford to pay at the moment and said if the lady sends an invoice she would pay in instalments but the woman said she wants the full amount put into her bank account before she let's me get my dad's things. She has also said if it is not empty by the 15th this month she will charge another £60.

    I'm not sure what to do as I would like to fetch my mum the things that belonged to my dad but the owner wont allow me to take anything until the money is paid.


    Please ccould you give me some advise as to where I stand with getting my dad's belongings?


    Kind regards
