First of all, your T thru a party, and someone (not your T) took the spot for the night. That was a TEMPORARY usage of the spot, NOT a daily or weekly occurrence. It happened, you told the T about it,------let it go. If it happens again, give him a written notice of a lease violation.

Second, if the T signed the lease, the terms of the lease are locked in, even if you didn't sign it. He has a legal right to a copy of the original lease ASAP, no matter what has taken place on the property since the signing, or how YOU FEEL about it.

I, for the past 12 years, make all my leases M2M, starting from day 1. (I've got 19 SFHs) That way, if odd things like this come up, I can give any of my Ts a 30 day notice to move if I wish.

You've got a problem here. Landlording 101........first day.........first class,......first hour ::: original paperwork is signed in conformed, duplicate originals Two copies .....one for LL and one for T Here's your copy of our agreement,...learn it,.. Love it,.. Live it. Here's your key,......don't loose it. If there's nothing about on property parking spaces in his agreement, you have a problem and will continue to have a problem with him and your other tenants. If there's nothing in your other tenants paperwork,...you're really gonna have problems Are any of these spaces specifically ASSIGNED ..? Try posting signs. RESIDENT TENANT PARKING ONLY VIOLATORS WILL BE TOWED. Most cities require code section included,...etc. Your local designated towing / impound company can help you with that and will probably furnish signs at no charge. Assigned parking spaces are a premium perk and have cash value Have the available spaces been specifically assigned to other tenants ? My units that come with an assigned space have language in the lease detailing which space by number is that specific tenants space and also that they as the tenant are responsible for the removal of any unauthorized vehicle in their space.

Forty years ago, when I was a kid, I rented my first studio apt as a tenant. It was $ 135. There was a parking lot on the side of the building. No pavement stripes. We all just made it work, and there was enough space and less people, with less cars. That was then,....it ain't like that no more.

Good info. Maybe it's time to charge per month for spots.
