Driveway Parasite Removal

[Dino H.]

Hi,

Haven’t posted here in a minute; thought I would check here first before doing any actual research.  I’m currently managing an eight unit property for my parents who are out of the country ATM.

The property is in a busy shopping area in the SF Bay Area with scarce parking, so obviously unauthorized people try to park in the driveway from time to time.  There is one guy in particular who’s there quite often.  Apparently he’s a former employee of one of the retail units who’s former boss gave the OK to park in the driveway.  He seems to come and go as he pleases, going to restaurants and shopping while leaving  his car to clog up our driveway.

My dad turned a blind eye to this since he doesn’t live on the property and nobody has really complained to him yet.  There’s nothing about this arrangement in the Lease that I know of.  I’d like to get this dude outta there ASAP.

I’ve already contacted towing companies about getting some general tow-away signage.  In the meantime, what can I legally do to kick this parasite out of my driveway?  I’m not the “real” owner (yet) but my dad would sign off on whatever is reasonable if needed when he gets back.

Would, say, a warning note saying I’ll call the police next time I see him there be a legit course of action?

Thanks,

D
