  • Would I be better creating a single contract with the renter that states they're liable (with photos of current condition) and maybe taking a reasonable damage deposit up front?

    Yes.

    Then also creating some sort of contract between us and our landlord to say that we'll cover /reclaim any money owed for damages and deal with any repairs ourselves?

    Doesn't this exist already as part of your tenancy agreement? i.e. you are liable for damage to the property and presumably the garage beyond wear and tear.

    Or is this all too much faff for not much gain and too much risk?

    Probably. How much do you need the money?

    Yes it does, but our landlord seems to want to be part of a specific contract for parking rental. I'll push him a bit as to reasons why.

    Not hugely, but it would help. Especially as the OH works for Evans. And that's a big pile of shit waiting to hit a big fucking fan...

  • I'll push him a bit as to reasons why

    Possibly because what you're proposing is a kind of sub-let, which may be prohibited by your existing rent contract.
