Q: Can action be taken against the tenant for parking violation without proper notice of change in said parking rule?
On Thursday afternoon, I returned home and parked in an unmarked stall. On Friday, I reached out to property management regarding another business matter. At that time, I was verbally notified that the stall I was still parked in had been modified. The stall is now marked 'manager'.
I was told there was no rush to move my vehicle, yet I have been contacted three times regarding doing so. Prior to this event, I may not have had any reason to move my car at all, as parking itself has been a challenge due to the historical mismanagement of the property itself.
Management already had one reserved space. No tenants are allowed two vehicles in the garage, as there are not enough spaces to allot a unit per space, as it were. The building is small—23 plus the onsite manager, one employee, and their family. I will conclude with the fact that this is a nonprofit, subsidized housing project. Can action be taken against me for the event when no notification was properly served to me?
A: I find this interesting. Why don't you just move your car? They keep asking you nicely to move it. Yet you seem intent on escalating the situation. Isn't it worth the small inconvenience of limited parking and "mismanagement" to have your rent subsidized?
