I rent an apartment in a gated community in Orange County, California. Every tenant is assigned 1 covered parking spot; open parking spots are available to additional cars on a first come first serve basis. Parking in our community has always been saturated; often, people would have to park along the curb of the narrow apartment drive because all open spaces are occupied by 8:00 PM. Our former apartment manager was good about accommodating parking needs-she assigned herself a less accessible covered parking spot and left the accessible ones to the tenants. She seldom used open parking spaces.
Our new apartment manager is not as considerate as the old one. Right off the bat, she assigned the best open parking spot to herself, thereby taking away one viable parking space for tenants with more than 1 car. Mind you, she is not handicapped. Do property managers have this right to give themselves the best parking privileges at the expense of tenants?
Please note that the manager also has a covered parking spot in addition to the open parking spot she has assigned to herself.
