Someone is parking in our spaces, cried the little bear!
Our house is next to a small apartment building with many more cars than tenants. We have alley parking space for several cars. One of our friendly neighbors has permission from us to park in our spaces.
In the past couple of weeks an assortment of cars, probably from the apartment building, have been parking in our spaces. At first, I thought that the nice neighbors were just parking their other car in our spaces, which would have been fine but now it's obviously not them, and we confirmed this today.
I do not know which of the people in the building are parking in our spaces. There's a number of households.
This is obviously private property - there is no way anyone could believe that it's public parking.
I am pretty sure it's people from the apartment building, because they have also dumped trash in our yard, cut down and killed our trees and flowers and in general been creepy, shitty neighbors. Due to health problems we can't do a very good job on our yard, and they have clearly assumed that this means they are welcome to dump trash and their yard waste.
I'm not a confrontational person and I don't know exactly who is doing this, AND we're hoping to move this year. Is it worth confronting them about the parking? I just feel like it's a matter of days until they park up all the space and our nice neighbor has nowhere to put their car.
Also, because of how they've treated us in the past, I'm worried about this somehow escalating - if we knew them or even if they hadn't been such lousy neighbors, I might feel that I could trust them and try to regularize the arrangement, but they are the old original "give them an inch and they take everything that isn't nailed down" crew.
We could put up a sign and put notes on their cars asking them to move, but what do we do if they don't move? People from this building have done so many shitty things since we've lived here. Like, I want to stress that they purposely cut down our lilacs every year until last year they cut them down to the ground and finally killed them. On our property, not sticking over onto their property. |
