DIY YO's: do you charge for lorry/trailers parked at the yard?

MiJodsR2BlinkinTite said:
Thanks for the feedback everyone .... emm, just to clarify - IF I charge someone for storing their trailer/lorry, and something happens to it such as damage or its stolen, if they're paying that makes me liable? But if I don't officially "charge" them, but its a sort of grace & favour arrangement but no formal charge, and they sign its at their own risk, then I'm not liable?

Can someone clarify? I'm probably being ultra thick.

I doubt if someone reversed into their trailer whether you'd be liable... I wouldn't have thought so. But if the nearby barn burnt down, or a tree fell on it, according to the legal advise I got, you would be.

You could get them to sign a disclaimer, but I'm not sure if it would be worth the paper it is written on.

If you don't charge anything though (my YM now doesn't, but only lets a couple of trailers park there) you are not liable.
