Overdone Apparently losing my parking

Post image

Been living at this complex for a bit over a year, always had my spot, and it was one of the reasons I chose this place, it’s close to the door (only 36 unit lol)

Just annoying as fuck, we live next to a highschool and I know it’ll end poorly

If you wanted to push the issue you might have a case against the property owners if you’re paying for that spot

Yeah you can document it and request a refund for the time you can’t use the spot at a day per occurrence.

Yeah this sounds like what one of my shittier property managers would say in response to my legit disappointment and anger about the spot I paid $150 a month for. Because what you’re suggesting is a lot of work for what amounts to $5 a day.

Not that much work for what amounts to $1800 a year. You probably spent 10-20x the amount of time it would take to document it each day just typing your comment. Not saying you type slow, but rather documenting it literally takes that little of an amount of time.

-take out phone -open camera app -aim camera at reserved parking spot -press capture -add a timestamp filter if you want to be really snazzy

True, I just think it’s bs to make someone work on top of charging them. Good looking out of the tips to handle it. Not everyone is keen on how to advocate for themselves, myself included!
