but, you come home late at night to find the door wont open because something malfunctioned. I parked in a spot that is used rarely because the street is risky and left a note addressed to the manager and the tenant of the spot (if any) with my # on it. In the morning I found a tow warning on the motorcycle from the manager. Manager told me not to park it there again or she will have it towed. But, I pay rent to have a garage that works 24/7. Im would like opinions, and whether the complex would be liable if my bike gets stolen because I couldnt park in my own secure parking.

Your landlord must fix the "door" problem within a "reasonable period of time"-usually this can be no longer than 30 days. Unfortunately, you cannot use the other person's space though. I mean, you can, but they can also have you towed. If the landlord has fixed the door, that's that. If she has not, then you should mail her a certified letter requesting the repair. I bet she will get it fixed immediately. Your "return receipt" is proof that there is a problem, and if she does not fix it, she has broken the lease and you can move. It's frustrating! Hang in there.

From a legal standpoint, the manager/complex is not responsible for your motorcycle even if it were in the garage spot, let alone parked at some random place. This is the reason you carry insurance on your belongings. I am sure in the lease agreement, you signed, in very fine print, the apartment complex is not responsible for any of your possessions no matter in the garage or in your bedroom. On a separate note, personally speak with the manager in a calm tone and explain to him that your motorcycle means a lot to you and you would really appreciate it if you could park it in its designated place.

take a deep breath..... call and talk to the manager she will get the garage door fixed.
problem fixed
she probably just doesn't know your garage is broke.
you have insurance on your bike if it gets stolen..
24/7 work if you find it let me know I'll buy it

yeah you've really got no clout there, but make sure you request to have your garage fixed, and for god sakes do it in writing with a copy! They still have 30 days, so I suggest you find another place to park, and buy a lock!

If your lease entitles you to garage space, you're entitled to it, no question. And it doesn't matter if you put a car, boat, bike or boxes there; it's part of your rental and that's THAT.
