Storage hosting is not a residential let — no tenancy rights apply, no eviction risk, no deposit ledger to maintain. Add unused garages, basements, and sheds to Packhood and bill renters monthly via Stripe. Figures are estimates based on typical storage rates.

Why Packhood works for landlords
Portfolio mode
List 10 properties at once from the landlord dashboard. Each listing has its own access rules, photo set and Stripe payout, but you manage them as one book.
Separate accounting
Storage income reports separately from rental income — clean audit trail for your accountant. Annual export in CSV/JSON, plus a per-property P&L view.
No tenancy rights apply
Storage hosting is a service contract, not a residential let. No deposit ledger, no eviction process, no RTB / Section 21. You pause or end any listing in the dashboard.
Add to existing tenancies
If your tenancy agreement permits, you can host the unused garage attached to a let property. Most BTL leases allow it. Net upside: ~€2,920/yr/property at IE rates.
Storage income in Ireland is taxable
Storage income is Schedule D Case IV/V — the Rent-a-Room relief does not cover storage (it is for residential lodgers, not goods). Most single-listing hosts stay under the €5,000 non-PAYE threshold (Form 12). Keep records.

Per-listing access hours, prohibited items, max stay, photo upload requirements. Renters agree at booking; breaches go through Packhood's dispute team.
FAQ
Does storage hosting count as a tenancy?
No. Packhood storage hosting is a service contract for renting space to store items. It is not a residential let, so no tenancy rights, deposit ledger, or eviction process apply. End the agreement in your dashboard at any time.
Can I host space at a property I already let to a tenant?
Only if your tenancy agreement permits — for example, an unused garage you specifically retained. Many BTL leases allow it; some do not. The responsibility to comply with your own tenancy sits with you.
How do payouts and accounting work for multiple properties?
One verified Stripe Connect account, with each property as a sub-listing. Monthly payout statements break out per-property income. Annual export in CSV/JSON for your accountant.
Is the income subject to standard rental tax?
Tax treatment varies. In Ireland, the Rent-a-Room scheme can apply if the host lives in the same dwelling; otherwise it's standard schedule-D-case-V rental income. UK: Rent-a-Room or property income, depending. NL: see Belastingdienst. Consult your accountant.
What happens to existing bookings if I sell a property?
Active bookings continue to their agreed end date with the new owner taking over the listing if they accept the terms. If they don't, Packhood ports the renter's items to an alternative listing in the same area or refunds in full.
