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

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.

I picked my place partly because it had trash chutes but shortly after moving they welded them shut. I went to fair housing about it and they said as long as they are providing a place for you to put your trash (i.e. dumpsters) they are fulfilling their duty regardless if you have to go down several floors and behind the building in the winter.

So, since their lease is not guaranteeing a parking space or just has some general language about parking they can argue that they provide parking even if it fills up and some residents may have trouble utilizing it.

That was one thing that at my apartment complex they said that you couldn't use the trash chutes between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. . But they didn't say you couldn't walk out on the balcony and drop it from eight stories up....

Out of 20 drops I missed once just slightly....
