Problems with Estate Agent!

[jmar2971]

Hello

Now I beleive this may be in the wrong section. So if that is the case I apologise and if someone can send me the right way.

Anyway I am currently renting a downstairs apartment of a house which has a concreted back yard with space for parking. Now the problem I have is that I got a voicemail today off my phone from my estate agent, stating that the tenants that lived above had complained about two cars been in the yard and that they had been told it was a communal yard.

When I took out the agreement with friends we where told that the yard was ours for parking and in none of the agreements I have signed for the apartment does it state that the yard is communal and has to be shared.

Can someone on here please tell me if I am right to just keep using the yard as I please?

Thanks

The agreement is silent about the yard.

Thanks for the information so far. I haven't had a chance to speak to the above tenants as at the moment I am at home. The advert and the estate agent told me the yard was for us to use for parking or other things. When we viewed and spoke about the place the was never a mention that the yard was communal.

Adding to my last post, the house is a standard student accomodation where it has been split into two flats us having the ground floor.

I managed to speak to another person working at the estate agent and they have said they have never known an upstairs flat in this case having access to the ground floor yard. So will see what happens. I am just going to have to argue that the contract did not state the yard was communal and that the advert for the flat stated off street parking in the back yard.
