I am a tenant in a residential building that has peculiar practices. My rental agency is helpful and friendly and there is a good relationship with my landlord. However, the property management company is where the issues arise. The property management company is also the owner and director of the building.
Can they restrict access to a functioning elevator for the residents of the building and can they deny me parking even when there is ample parking and I am a resident of the building?We haven’t bought a house in 35 years. How should we go about downsizing? My recommendation would be to get your rental agency or landlord to contact the property management company in writing to ask why this lift is not available to use, and to ask that you be provided with a key for its use.
You may separately be able to rent a space in the development from the owner of another car space, but that is a separate matter. If your landlord does have a space, then you will probably have a right to park in that space only. In most multi-unit developments, there is no general right to park in any free space as most spaces are owned by other owners, even if they do not always have a car parked there.
