| Parking on own property question.
So heres the deal. We living in a townhouse where we have 2 spots underneath the house. The situation is that we have 3 cars (myself,dad and brother). Since my car and dads are worth the most we leave my brothers shit box parked on side of the house in "visitors parking". It does not have that marked but the strata claims it is. The car is only parked there between 10-7am. There are tons of other occupants that do the same. Recently the strata sent out a message saying that they will ticket/tow anyone that parks there.
Now, 2 questions.
1. can i continue to park there? can they even ticket or tow the car?
2. I can technically fit all three cars underneath my parking area. Its open, dont know if that matters. Could I do that?
This is an actual issue, so professional responses would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Eric

Why would you ask us. You should go ask your strata or building manager. Fucken common sense dude. What we say could be wrong and if you listen to us then you might get fucked so your best option is _______________ (fill in the blank)

By-laws. Depends on your strata.
1. No. Yes.
2. I would believe so?

I believe that different strata will differ greatly on the use of visitor parking.
I remember that one property I was looking at in calgary did not allow overnight parking in visitors, and one in richmond I believe only allowed 3hrs parking at a time.
So yeah, If I were you, I'd speak to your strata

if you can fit it, in your 'two' spots, then sure. I've done it before with my bikes at the back of the cars.

I've never seen a townhouse complex that allows people who live there to park in visitor parking. People still do it but it's generally not allowed. Yes they can tow you and yes you can get them back by slashing the strata members tires just don't get caught.

Most condo/townhome complexs have the stalls numbered. The strata usually keeps record of what unit owns what stalls and also keeps on record the license plate of the owner so they know what vehicles belong in what stall.
If there are left over stalls after a development is completed the remaining stalls not sold go to the strata to use as visitor parking or to rent out to units.
Even if the stalls at your complex aren't listed as visitor stalls, they most likely are. Even if other people do it, they'll probably end up getting towed sooner or later. The condo I live in downtown has towed peoples cars on occasion.
You can try parking all 3 cars there, but I'm sure they strata will send you a letter about that.
