Letter writer is upset about one neighbor’s abuse of their condo complex’s parking rules.
I live in a large condo complex where all the parking spots have been auctioned off. Guests are expected to park on the street .
My neighbor in the spot to my right has one parking spot, three cars and always has guests over. I can expect a text once a month from her asking or telling me she is in my parking spot. The holidays are the worst. If I am in my spot or say no, she tells her guests to park in the fire lane behind me. Years ago, I hit a car parked there. I have asked her not to park there.
But she is on the HOA and bends the rules at her convenience. She even screamed in my face when I asked her guest to move his car so I could pull out. I don’t want to alienate my neighbor. But I no longer want to be faced with giving up my parking spot or getting parked in. Is there a polite way to tell her no to any more requests to park in my spot?makes this difficult — and unfair — is that this neighbor is on the HOA.
