Help.... Someone's parked in my garage...
Discussion
check out garage rental prices in your area and invoice her use of the facilities backdated to start of the tenancy.
have someone park infront of the "empty" garage, its not obvious there is a car in there that they are restricting access to. If question your friend regularly does it and has your permission to block the garage as it should be empty.
turn off the power and lock the garage.
legally you cant do much in a short time frame

As I understand things from a thread I read the other day, the Police will ask you to go around and let her get her vehicle out, as you are not allowed to deny them use. But, if you have proof that the garage is not included in the rent, you can reinstall the lock afterwards.
I am not sure I would trust her not to damage any other vehicle left in their though.

Since she never forced entry and you really need somewhere to store your car i'd get the locks on the door changed, then when she wants her car out you'll be able to let her out and not back in again.
Providing she uses her car though and she's not storing it due to no tax / insurance.

What a load of crap. The tenant should get onto Pepipoo and refute the speculative invoices and penalty fees being charged by the OP. He'll have to demonstrate an actual loss too. Were his neighbours charging the same fees for use of their garage?
That's how people parking where they shouldn't threads go isn't it?

It would be quite easy to demonstrate an actual loss.That's how people parking where they shouldn't threads go isn't it?
You put the car you want to store there but are unable to somewhere else, then get an invoice from that land / garage owner for the storage fees you incurred whilst someone was parking in your building without permission.

I was stating the normal position of everyone when a poster comes on bleating that they've got a parking ticket.

Can she legally stop you removing her car from the garage?
Maybe she'd have a case if it was removed, but wouldn't that be a civil case? If Police aren't involved I'd just remove it and change the lock as others have said. All imho and certainly not legal advice!!

Thanks for the feedback - it pushed me to not being such a p**sy about things and the car is now gone - PH wins. My car now arrives in the morning and locks will be added!!
As soon as I heard the word 'refused' the word 'eviction' popped into my head.Sounds to me like a problem tenant waiting to happen. I'd be getting her out of there at teh earliest opportunity.

I've been renting it to students for 5 years before this and they've been great, this years have been total fSounds to me like a problem tenant waiting to happen.

In this case, the OP is also the landowner. The tenant is trespassing.
In you incredibly witty post, in most cases the 'parking management companies' are not the landowners, more often than not have no enforceable contract with the victims of their claims and, in the rare event that they have met the standard for the formation of a contract, the charges they claim are unenforceable penalties.
Apart from that, the two examples are almost identical.
