Tenant in a Triplex Parked New Trailer on Driveway Without Permission

[Nir]

Hi All,

I have a dilemma how to deal with a new situation in a triplex:

One of the tenants called me earlier to inform me the other tenant has purchased a camper trailer (just the trailer, does not have the truck yet!) and parked it on the Driveway located on the right side of the property.

None of the tenants own/have a car and their old leases do not include parking space. However, their visitors including myself used to park their car on that driveway where he put his trailer.

I did not call the tenant who owns the trailer yet. The tenant who called me is not even sure when or if the other tenant will purchase a truck for the trailer. (he told them he will purchase a truck later and that he can park it there)

How would you deal with the situation: allow him to park the trailer there (and maybe truck later)? I mean what can he do with it now(!?)

On the other hand he did not ask me permission or even tell me about it in advance(!)

Any advice how to deal with this situation would be appreciated..

Thanks,
Neil

Neil,

If this tenant does not have a parking spot stipulated in his lease, and neither do other tenants, then this would be a common area, or Visitors Parking Only area, in which case you can request that he remove his possessions. To offer him an alternative, I would try to find out where he can park his trailer (anybody in the neigbourhood has a large garage for rent, etc.).
