Tenant Parking Issues

[Melissa T.]

Hi,

I am the owner of a multi-family property. Each unit is provided two off street parking spaces. Last year one of our tenant to asked if they could put a small landing in the backyard, as a little patio area. We said ok. He put a 10 x 12 deck coming off his back door as a deck area for his unit.

We rented the third floor recently and these tenants have two cars. Because the first floor took up so much of the yard with the deck he built there is not room for their two cars and the third floors two cars.

The first floor is upset and asking us to tell the unit upstairs to put their cars on the street. The first floor tenants are not ideal tenants as it is, but now what do I do about the parking?

Any insight is appreciated.

Thanks,

Melissa
