If i park where they are trying to make i wont be able to open my doors to get me and my 3 year old daughter out. I haven't had a problem for the last year but they just repainted the lines and are moving my spot.

A: The law that controls you case is the law of contract. Sadly, your parking space agreement does not likely say "FOR $400 per month, we shall provide a 13 foot wide parking spot" But, whatever it does say controls, so go to your favorite local attorney - bring the contract, pay them for a consultation and possibly to write a letter on your behalf.
