I am currently on a month-to-month lease, after having completed my original 1 year lease obligation. My written lease clearly states that my apartment comes with two parking spots, #29 and #44. There are no other alternate parking arrangments that can be made.
Today my landlord informed me that he was taking away one of my two parking spots, because "under the new rules, parking is assigned at my discretion". He also stated that he has a waiting list for 1BR aparments [like mine], and that we should consider moving.
I feel that the scope of the lease cannot be altered at the whim of management, no moreso than can he tell us he's leasing our closet space to someone else. However, I feel that we have little or no recourse in spite of the breach. Could this be analagous to an illegal "lock-out"?
This sucks, because the rent has stayed low and we don't want to move. Thanks in advance.
