Hassling Landlord!!!?

My landlord (actually his son-in-law, who now has "power of attorney") is renovating the parking lot to better serve the business of the nail salon tenants downstairs and is telling me that I have too many vehicles out there. Right now, they are spread out at work and at my mothers, but cannot stay there much longer.

Does he have the right to do this? There is far more than enough room!

I was never told anything about any limitations or restrictions. In fact, there is NO lease or agreement... nothing signed.

What is the best possible action that I could take?

    How many vehicles do you have there?

    They have the right to limit the number - as it has to accomodate everyone. Especially if most of your vehicles don't get driven daily.

    Are all of your vehicles insured, currently tagged, etc? If not, he can have them towed as abandoned or something.

    Your landlord absolutely has the right to request that his tenants keep their vehicles off the lot long enough to renovate, but it is usually expected that those renovations occur in a reasonable amount of time.

    The fact that you have no lease or nothing signed can both work for and against you, but essentially it leaves you at the whim of legal precedent in your state or locality.

    You definitely need to contact an attorney. I recommend one who specializes in business contracts and real-estate laws.

    In the meantime, keep track of any damages in the way of additional expenses and lost business that you incur due to your landlord's actions.

    If you are merely a residential tenant in a residential unit above a retail space, you have additional specific protections that are generally much more in your favor than that of a business leasee. If this is the case, contact a lawyer who specializes in rental law in your state.

    you have a month to month lease. any changes to a lease must be in writing and he must give you 30 days notice from the day you normally pay rent. you may actually have about 59 days to move your vehicles. but first he must give you written notice...so what..... it seems reasonable for you to have space for 1 off street parking spot. lets use a factor of 3. you state you have cars parked at home work and at Mommy's. so you have nine vehicles. first things first. your mommy doesn't want your crap at her house either so get rid of the s-hit. your landlord is tired of seeing it and so is your boss. you gonna work on cars or chat on line. how much time effort and money is it going to take to fix the cars and sell them. your new years resolution should be to drink less beer and just get rid of all your crap...JUST DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    No lease? No agreement?

    The you are SOL - because he can notify you at any time of changes to the rules, ie number of vehicles.
