This prompted me to ask my agent to verify that those parking spaces were included in the deal and she said yes after the talking to the owner's agent.The problem is that I received confirmation verbally and I have come to realize I never verified that it was in writing.The PM next door now wants those parking spaces for their tenant which will leave me with only 4 parking spaces for 4 units that are 2br/2bath.It realize I made a rookie mistake for not verifying this in writing so I am now evaluating cost and planning to expand parking space in our property but I wanted to know if you can share some of your wisdom and see if there are other ways to approach this situation.Thank you for reading.
