This page explains how to give a Notice to Quit to end your garage licence agreement and what you need to do before your agreement ends.
How to give notice
If you want to end your garage licence agreement, you must submit a Notice to Quit in writing at least 1 calendar month before your intended end date.
You must:
- download the Garages Notice to Quit form
- complete and sign the form
- return it by email or post to the address on the form
You will need:
- your name, address and contact details
- a forwarding address, if relevant
- your proposed end date
- the reason you are ending your garage licence agreement
After you give notice
Once we receive your notice, we will contact you to confirm the end date and explain what happens next. Your garage licence agreement will usually end on a Sunday.
Before your agreement ends, you must:
- pay any outstanding garage rent or other charges
- remove all belongings from the garage
- leave the garage clean and tidy
- securely lock the garage and return the keys
See the garage licence conditions for a full list of your responsibilities.
If you leave any belongings behind, you may be charged for the cost of removing and disposing of them.
Returning your keys
You must return your garage keys by midday on the Monday after your agreement ends.
You can return the keys:
- by recorded delivery to Oxford City Council, Garages Team, PO Box 10, Oxford, OX1 1EN
- by prior arrangement with a member of our team
