Hi,
I rent a condo with a deeded parking space which is blocked in by my neighbor who owns the adjoining condo. In order to aid in the moving of her car, our neighbor gave us a copy of her key and clicker (aka FOB) to move her car when we need to get out.
My roommate and I lost her key, and after a week decided we would have to replace it. So we took her car to the dealership and paid $300 dollars to replace the key and clicker. A month later, we found the original spare key.
My question is, now that we are moving out, who is the owner of the $300 key and clicker? We would like to keep the clicker and give the neighbor her key back, because, while we can't re-cut the key, we can reprogram the clicker to our own car which is a similar model. Can we keep the clicker? Or does she have some right to it because it is programed to her vehicle?
Thanks!
