Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Florida

Re: Apartment Complex Parking

I am not a real estate attorney so I can not give you chapter and verse on your property rights. I do think you could sue, though, because the landlord is breaching the contract between you and him to provide a usable parking space.

However, that is time consuming and costly. If you have not tried already, the better way is to diplomatically deal with the landlord. Try to come up with positive solutions such as the landlord posting and sending notices to all tenants about the matter, and letting them know that towing might become the solution. Do not be accusatory or impolite. Just explain to the landlord that you, like everyone else, pay for your spot and would appreciate the other tenants' cooperation in ensuring that you can use it as it was intended.

If that does not work, you can move up to a threat of legal action and eventually, have a lawyer contact the landlord.

Good luck.
