Asbestos use and regulations changed significantly from the 1960s to the late 1990s and varied from country to country. It is possible that asbestos is present in the ceiling of a garage built in 1991. To check whether this is the case, you will need to have the material inspected and tested by someone with the appropriate qualifications.
This will depend on the regulations in your area, and could be a specialised laboratory tester, a certified inspector or a certified asbestos contractor. Contact your local authority for advice and for a list of people qualified to assess your material. Do not remove or disturb any material until given an all-clear by the inspector.

My best guess is that you're asking what is a garage.The answer to that question is that it is the place at a dwelling (where someone lives), where you would keep your automobile. Generally a garage is enclosed (has walls and ceiling), on all sides, with a garage door opening on one side to allow you to move your car into and out of the garage.

What should you do if you think ceiling tiles have asbestos the tile is falling apart but not down has a brown cardboard look to back the bank is landlord and am really concerned over our health?
Most likely the tiles will not contain asbestos, but get an expert opinion at the expense of the Landlord, if possible. If you can't get the landlord to act, have a sample collected by a qualified person and analysed by a qualified laboratory, one approved for asbestos analysis. The cost would probably not exceed $50 for a single sample. If you are "really concerned," that should not be a problem. Ask the landlord to confirm whether or not the tile contains asbestos. If the building was built before 1980 and is in the US, OSHA regulations require the landlord to provide that information. If the building was built after 1980, the ceiling tiles are unlikely to contain asbestos in the first place, although apparently some modern ones coming in from Canada have had asbestos in the outer coating layer.

Was asbestos put in Walter homes?
Since Jim Walter Homes was building houses in the US from 1946 through the end of the 20th century, it is likely that some products containing asbestos were used in some of the homes they built. It is also likely that most of the later homes built did not contain any asbestos products. To determine whether asbestos-containing materials are present in any particular house, a careful survey by a qualified inspector would be needed. This would include the collection and analysis of samples of particular building materials.
Is it strange to want a garage renovation that will include the installation of a bathroom, kitchen and lounge area for entertainment purposes?
