So with only 2 visitors spots, it is a small complex of units?
Why are only the owners who rent their units out getting special treatment? If I was looking at a unit in a complex that had in writing that only those units that were rented out could have access to the visitors car spots I would look elsewhere. And what if another unit, or two, decides to rent theirs out? They may cry fowl because you let them park there and not us!
Send out the notices to comply. If you rent or buy an apartment with only one car spot and you need two or three, you should have thought about that and found somewhere with more garages. I have seen potential buyers coming to this complex, looking at the places with one garage and then pointing over to the visitors spots, smiling and nodding. And bingo, they move in to the unit, and they move into the visitors car spot.
We did have many years ago some residents complain because they had more cars than car spaces or needed extra parking etc and why can’t they use the visitors car spots. So we did suggest that we look into owners being able to have use of the spots and this would be offered to owners in order of their purchase date into the complex. This was not greeted well as those residents who wanted the visitors spots had only just moved in and didn’t want those who had been here since year dot to have use of the visitors spots! That wouldn’t be fair! That guy who has been here 10 years only has one car, why should he be allowed to park there! Well, why shouldn’t he?
