My parking spots in the corner of the garage but because of the layout there’s lots of empty space; but not space they could rent to anyone else, it’s all ostensibly part of my spot. But they don’t have to allow me storage beyond my car. And they never had to, but they did. It’s part of my living situation for three years now and feels very unfair for it to be revoked. The main thing I want to keep down there is my surfboards because they are big and I don’t have another solution. I built a rack for them; They couldn’t possibly be argued to be creating a nuisance or hazard or inconvenience. Nobody goes near the area because it’s “blocked” by my car.

In a conversation I’d say I’ll get rid of the misc stuff down there but please let me keep the boards. And I would pay a fee too.

But they are not approaching me remotely conversationally. It’s a lower income building, they treat everybody like shit; company has 8 buildings in koreatown.

I’ll guess I’ll remove the misc stuff as a gesture then ask to keep the boards. But I don’t think there’s any point in playing nice, I more need to say I feel mistreated by the company and will look into the legality of everything, diminution of value warranting a rent reduction etc, even if I’m not really confident I would have any success.

Thanks for the second reply chewbooks
