A neutral-form agreement granting a licence to use a car parking space in England & Wales. It is drafted as a licence, not a lease.
How to use this template - Replace every
[SQUARE-BRACKET]field before use. - This is a licence (permission to use the space), not a tenancy. To keep it a licence, the user should not be given exclusive possession of a defined space to the exclusion of the owner, clause 2 and clause 6 are drafted with that in mind. If the arrangement in practice gives exclusive possession, a court may treat it as a tenancy regardless of the label. - Have a solicitor review before use, especially if the space forms part of larger premises.
