Parking

The following FAQ page will list different forms of acceptable evidence in order to issue a formal leasing violation for parking violations.

Parking: All vehicles (including recreational) are to be parked on the street (where allowed) or in the garage or driveway. Improper parking of the vehicles is a breach of the lease. All vehicles must comply with HOA rules (if applicable). Any vehicles parked in the yard, on the grass, sidewalk, in front of dumpster containers or otherwise improperly parked will be towed at the vehicle owner’s expense. Landlord shall not be liable for any damages to the vehicle if it is towed. Any damage caused by improperly parked cars will be charged to the Tenant(s). Tenants or guests are not allowed to work on vehicles on the premises. Keep driveways free of oil and grease. Inoperable and/or unlicensed and/or un-inspected vehicles may not be parked on the premises. All such vehicles will be towed at Tenant’s expense. No notice is required. Any fines levied by local government also will be the responsibility of the Tenant(s). For premises with limited garage, driveway, or any other types of reserved parking spots, roommates shall limit their parking usage to a single primary vehicle. Roommates with more than one vehicle will need to utilize publicly available parking options for any additional vehicles. (Page 7).
