is it legal for an apt complex not to have guest parking spaces?

Question

Also can they legally make someone who is on the lease pay for parking if they have two cars one for each adult? Or should they be allowed a free spot for each car? My apt complex sent out a notice that every car parked in the lot will need a sticker or it will be towed. The guest are suppose to park in the street we live in a gated community we do not have a street.

all the apt. are three and four bedrooms

Answer 1

It all depends what you agreed to when you signed the lease. Were those the conditions when you moved in; did you know it and accept it. If the rental company try to change the terms and conditions of the lease without proper notice or in accordance with local laws then you don't have to obey and can take them to court. Each case will be different and depend on local laws.

Answer 2

There are certainly complexes-- especially in big cities-- that only offer one spot per apartment. But if you live in a two bedroom I'm not sure if they should be required to offer 2 spots. At the very least most places would do so at an extra charge.

Guest parking is not required. I wouldnt be suprised if they lose a lot of tenants over this and have to rethink it!

Answer 3

I think it varies from state to state.

As far as guest parking, I am almost positive it is NOT illegal to not offer guest parking. That is stictly a choice of the complex if they want to or not.

As far as parking for the owners, in my state I believe if it is a 2 bedroom parking they have to allow 2 cars to have free parking. If it is 1 bedroom perhaps they could limit you, but I would be suprised if they actually did that.

Answer 4

You may need to google the state legislation or city codes about this one. Sounds fishy and I would probably move.
