Shared driveway woes

[Rebecca Lebowitz]

Hi All,

I'm hoping others have had this situation come up with a good resolution. One of the property's that I manage has a shared driveway. This is a new property under my management, and both tenants were inherited at time of acquisition.

Both tenants have lived there for 5+ years, and while initially they were good friends, it has deteriorated significantly. Major problem is there is a long (but only one car-width) driveway, so if they both are using it, one is always blocking in the other person.

I have a few other properties that this is the case, but fortunately my tenants have all worked it out amongst themselves, however in this situation they just cannot.

I have a few ideas, but want other people's thoughts, experiences and advice.

Many thanks in advance!
