Use of garden - Garden Flat - Housing Law?

I live in the basement of a house described as the garden flat. This is a rented property.

I pay more rent than any of the other occupants of the house who have separate flats and only reason I can come up with as to why this is ( considering that we all have the same amount of bedrooms ) is because I have sole use of the garden.

There are no partitions in the garden and we all have the same landlord.

Do you think that I have sole use of the garden or that it is a communal garden. I have access from my kitchen whereas the other people use the fire escape to gain entry.
 
The only person who can answer that is your landord.
Your apartment may be larger than the others even though you have the same amount of bedrooms.
My daughter lives in a basement apartment which called a "garden level" apartment. There is no "garden" involved at all, in her case it is strictly descriptive of the type of apartment it is. Her apartment, while in the basement, is not so deep down that she barely has windows. her windows are large and allow lots of light and are above the level of the ground, hence garden level.
