Tenants sharing single lane driveway

[Joseph Schriever]

Hello BP!

I have a duplex that has a single lane narrow driveway with a two car garage in the back. 

To be honest, the two car garage does not make much sense because there is not enough room at the end of the driveway to even fit two cars side by side in order to fit them into the garage. 

So in reality I have a single car driveway. 

I have been living in the upper apartment (house hacking) and have had full access to the driveway and garage while the tenants in the lower apartment have parked on the street.

However, during the winter there is no street parking allowed. So we shared the drive way for the winter parking our cars in the order of who leaves first every day. This was not a huge issue as we worked well with my tenants. 

I am now moving out and into my next house (still house hacking) and will be finding new tenants to rent the upper apartment. 

I would think the best way to use the driveway/garage is to give the option to either the lower or upper apartment with a up charge in rent ($50-$75). And the other apartment will have to use street parking? 

When winter comes around, the upper and lower apartment will have no choice really other then to work it out between them selves? 

I'm looking for thoughts, opinions, ideas on the best way for the drive way to be used in this situation. 

Thank you!

Is there not room to widen the driveway, at least to allow sided by side parking/maneuvering between the street and the garage.  If I were renting, I'd never rent something like this.
