Q: I lived in NY and I rent a parking space in a month to month (no contract) for $200.00 per month for the past 3 years.
The owner of the building recently leases out ALL parking space in the garage to a parking company. This parking company wants to renew leases and raise the price to $250 per month. I am okay with the pricing and I would like to continue rent my current parking space because it’s right next to the building I work at. However, this parking company stop calling me and won’t answer my phone since this Monday. I believe they might find other tenants that are willing to pay $350 per spot per month. The parking company will start locking people’s car who does not have a lease with them, starting next week. The owner of the building refused to help me further and said it was out of their hands. I would like to know is there anything I can do to about it?
A:
Unless you have a long-term lease for the spot, this is analogous to an apartment rental. You are likely a month to month renter of the space and either party can vacate the agreement anytime.
I would suggest a champion to pay the garage $250. If they except it then they have to grant you all rights provided therein
Let me know if you would like someone to negotiate this for you… You can always call me at 914-912-1555, our visit the website at AG3LAW.com
