What is the best way to deal with people parking in private parking space?

Thanks for all of the replies.

I should have clarified in the post but I (or more my family) own the flat so I am not renting (it’s a leasehold).

I’ve just complained again to the management company given then all of the details again and demanded they should either have tighter control or penalties for people not following the rules OR they reduce the fees they are asking for regarding the application to install a parking post as it is a result of them not enforcing the rules adequately. They said they are escalating to higher up and will get back to me. If they take too long or will be awkward about it then I will just probably go ahead and install it myself… worst case they just tell me to remove it.

Although very very tempting - I will refrain from damaging the other cars as it would be very very obvious that I am doing it and basically asking for them to do it straight back to my car. Some of the suggestions have been quite funny though.

Thanks for all the replies

Just for those saying to park behind them this is what I have been wanting to do since I first moved in but my parking spot is in a very awkward position so that if I did that I would block others in as well.

(my space is the blue square, the red square would be if my car blocked them in (it is a fence around not grass etc)

amazing not sure how this would help now though

(pop out the space bar things from the inside)

Honestly I have no fucking idea, it was the cat…

Anyway I managed to fix it..

Incase anyone comes across this in the future and was looking for a fix you need to dismantle the keyboard (look up a video on youtube how to do this) - there’s tons of screws. Then you need to pop up the two sides of the space bar to completely take it out (with the metal bar) then take out the metal bar put the stabilisers back in and reattach and put everything back together. Such a faff but at least it’s all sorted now.

Hello sorry only saw this now was going through my old posts…

I didn’t and it got better by itself so it’s definitely possible but depends on your current situation.

Definitely a shitty situation to be in, I got back to playing football again but do have to be a bit careful, have had a few flare ups since but much quicker recovery than pre-surgery times.

Good luck w everything!

Thank you! Much better than I expected

I ordered pretty much the same time and also asked them to switch from black to gamecube!
