What are my parking rights as a tenant?
I live in a townhome community. Parking is designated as guest and as resident/guest. In the entire community there was only 1 guest spot available so we had to park there until a resident spot came available. We were towed and I would like to know what my rights are. There are towing signs posted and we have contacted the HOA who will not do anything about it. Our vehicles do not fit in our 1 car garage so we along with everyone else has to utilize the parking area. There are not enough spaces. Are my rights being violated?

I am so sorry. It is difficult to give guidance with out reading your agreement and actually being able to ask about how the parking is designated. I am assuming that your town home has its own garage that came with the rental, correct? If your vehicles do not fit that may not be the HOA's problem. It may be yours. They provided the parking. You chose a vehicle that did not fit. And as for the designation of the spots, they would probably be in violation of their agreement to all to have guest spots available. I think that you should speak with some one who can read the paperwork involved and who can mediate between you. Good luck.
