What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
I live in a 60 unit complex with ALL of the 40 stall parking as "guest only" parking. No tenant parking whatsoever. Tenants are to park (2) vehicles in their garage. If only one is parked in garage, or if you have a 3rd vehicle, then your to park on the city street. Then about 2 week ago the city made the street parking a "no stopping anytime" zone. Now there is no place for residents with a 3rd vehicle to park. So the HOA decided to charge $250 prepay per year per vehicle to park in the guest only parking. These stalls are not designated after paying, just that you can park in guest only parking which makes no sense because if its not assigned and anyone can park anywhere, who's to say you'll get a stall and your paying $250 a year? Can they do this? Plus there's no handicap stalls either. How can an HOA say if you have a 3rd vehicle you pay $250 to park and if your handicapped you get no parking at all? Arent the required to have handicap parking? Its a common parking area. What gets me is, the HOA doesnt care about having designated parking for the handicapped as much as they are trying to get $250 a year. What ever happened to doing whats right and not giving into GREED? Also, of the 40 guest parking only about 10-15 cars might be there with the rest empty most of time. We've never have any "no parking" issues and still dont. Are they being a bit unreasonable?
