Question: A tenant’s car has been in the visitor parking space of our apartment building for 6 months. How do we remove the car? Should we serve the lot owner with a breach notice?
There has been a tenant car parked in our visitor car parking space since mid 2020. The owner claims her tenant is stuck overseas due to COVID and the car should be left in the visitor space. The owner is a resident in the complex and claims the tenant boards in one of her bedrooms.
Should she be served a breach notice? Should we seek an order from the commissioner’s office to remove the car? So far, letters have been sent, but no breach notices.
Answer: The legal route is the next option if you want the vehicle moved.
Visitor car parking is for visitors only, so the tenant shouldn’t have been parked there in the first place. As notice has been provided and neither the tenant nor owner seems able to resolve the issue, the legal route is the next option if you want the vehicle moved.
