Q: Condo Assoc. in FL approved limiting parking to one parking permit/unit. Vehicles without permit will be towed.
Most of the units are used as vacation homes so one permit is not a problem. There are a few spaces reserved for guests. This is my primary residence and I own three cars. There was nothing in the condo declaration or rules and regulations and by-laws pertaining to parking or vehicle ownership. Is this enforceable on existing owners that own more than one car before this change was made?
A: Without reading the condo documents, which we cannot do in this online forum, my experienced guess would be "yes." Condominiums have limited parking and generally do not have the ability to create additional parking spaces. The general rule is, if it serves a legitimate business need, then the restriction/rule is enforceable.
