Terminating Parking Easement
Hey BP--
I own a duplex in Pittsburgh, PA with an off-street parking pad in an area where off-street parking is at a premium. Prior to purchasing the duplex I signed a parking easement that granted the neighboring SFR to the use of 1-parking spot on my property. It was basically a word doc that states "the residents at [property addresss] are granted use of 1 parking spot between the retaining walls at [address 1] and [address 2]". No survey was drawn and the "easement" wasn't recorded with the county. Fast-forward 18 months and I now want to terminate this easement agreement. I can make my own tenants much happier by allowing them access to another spot. I've already had the "is this ethical" internal discussion and I'm completely OK with my decision. I'm wondering, from a legal standpoint, do I even need to do anything besides provide them with a letter stating the easement is now null & void? In hindsight, I don't think it was ever a legally binding agreement to begin with.
Thanks for your comments & help!
Josh
