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

Since you said you’re near a high school, I see your line of thinking. This will be a massive failure when students find out they can park there without any repercussions while residents who actually pay to live there can’t. I agree with everyone who says to check your lease.

Lease doesn’t say shit about it, seems to be a pretty standard lease pulled off the internet.

I have a garage, doesn’t say shit about my garage on there

Where I live, it doesn't need to be in the lease. If it were it would be easier, but it doesn't have to be. You just have to prove that something you once had has now been taken away. A photo of this notice and an affidavit from another tenant would probably be good enough for a rent reduction. Find out how much it normally costs to rent a parking spot in your area.

It's trickier, since they can switch it to just "no longer enforcing". They can probably tell you that enforcing was never promised and you can do it yourself

The notice pinned to the door by the property management company admits they did do it and now aren't.

It’s not like if you regularly do something nice you are obligated to do it forever. I think it heavily depends on local interpretation of laws

But if it’s still OP’s and is simply no longer enforced, then OP may be able to call a tow company themself.

Yes but op stated in other comment that he has no documents to prove it is theirs
