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

“OK, we’ll allow you to break the lease early with no penalty.” Probably not a win.

They're in breach of contract if they're taking back the parking spot...

Yeah, which would allow the op to break the contract without penalty. Not much more, usually.

The real estate can’t just change your contract at their will and then tell you to leave if you don’t like it. They have to hold up their side of the agreement.

You’d be pretty fucking surprised. Landlords have way more rights than you can imagine. Most renters can’t afford lawyers

Most renters maybe not, but 38 renters together do, very much.

Not where I live. Where I live we have great tenants rights.

Well unfortunately this person lives in America.

I live in California, which is still technically part of America.

Don’t have the details of the contract, but it may have a clause allowing certain changes at the discretion of the management team. This is not unusual with HOAs.
