Off topic but wanted to see if anyone can offer any advice - gf is moving in to my place. I asked for an additional parking spot at my apartment management. They approved, even gave extra garage remote. 5 days later, they say uh whoops we didn’t realize you were in a 1 bedroom, you can’t have more than one spot so we have to take this parking spot back.
I have their email approval but no signed contract. She already moved and now we don’t have a parking spot for her car. Anything I can do here?

Hold them to their word. And keep going up the ladder until you find the CEO. Whenever someone is not helping , ask them who they report to, contact that person and keep the conversation going. Someone will make it right.

I had an issue with a rental company and got up to their regional vice president. He made it right.

Yes, I guess I will eventually have to do that. I was trying to avoid escalating to not look like an a-hole before trying out other options but if may have to resort to that. Thanks for your response.

I’d mention the state to help. Also, there is bowl with lawyers.

like

Thank you. Will post this in the lawyers bowl too.

Check your lease. If it doesn’t say anything about only 1 spot then push back. If it does have the limit, I’d still ask for at least temporary use of a spot given the email but legally they don’t have to do anything.

like

It all goes as one single payment through their portal but the itemized bill shows rent and parking separately. Which means that if i didn’t have a car, i can cancel this parking spot and my overall payment will reduce. I have an addendum in my lease that mentions my current parking spot (the spot number, my car details, some rules, etc) but it doesn’t specifically call out that I’m only limited to one parking spot or if I can request additional space.

like

Sounds like a screw up on their end that will result in someone not having a parking spot. Tough to hold them to it with nothing legally binding them to keep their word. I would be as cordial as possible and see if they are willing to work something out. Tell them the situation. Being kind and understanding goes a long way. Most of the time.

like

Yeah, was wondering if an email is legally binding but looks like it isn’t. I was being very cordial up until the point they put a towing warning on my gf’s car while she was parked at the spot they assigned to us! (That’s when they told me it’s not actually mine) Naturally, I wasn’t very happy with that.

Is paying for the additional spot not an option?

like

This was supposed to be a paid spot - they even wrote in the email that they will start charging me on X date. I’m okay with that - I just needed the damn spot that they promised. I already pay $200/month for my spot. This was an additional $200/month.
If I see a prorated parking spot charge for the 5 days of use in my next month’s rent, I’ll lose my shit.

Is a parking space included in the rent? It would make sense if they can’t give you two spots for the price of one. Maybe you can rent the additional space from management or maybe you can post a flyer somewhere in the building to see if another tenant isn’t using their space/you can rent it. Not ideal, but maybe a nearby building has spaces available for rent.

like

Not included in the rent. I pay $200/month for my spot. This was supposed to be an additional 200/month for her spot.
Will post a flyer on their message board - thanks for the idea.

Just ask one of your neighbors without a car to get a parking spot and park there

like

Good idea. Thank you.

See if you can rent a spot from a neighbor. I had a space I did not need once and rented it out. people are always looking on message boards so post, and see what people will rent it out for if there is one available.

like

Yeah, will check if anyone has an empty spot. Thank you.

Also, please lmk if anyone knows of a better bowl that I can ask this question in. Thank you.
