Parking in front of my neighbors garage?

Just because you've been doing something for 3 years does not make it right. Until now it was not an issue, but now it is. If the space in front of the garage also belongs to the garage owner you will simply have to move. No one needs to inform you what they are going to do with their own space or maybe she just acquired the garage but either way it's hers to do with as she sees fit. As you don't have a garage you really don't have a space. You should ask your management where the most appropriate place for you to park is or see if you can acquire a garage that no one is using.

There's nothing you can really do about your neighbors parking in front of their garages as opposed to in them, that is their preference. The mailbox issue though, I'd be pissed to. I'd talk to the management office and inform them of the huge inconvenience this is to you, that you don't appreciate the lack of common sense and respect for patron residences. Write down the license plate number as well so they have something to work with. They'll have the vehicle owner informed and it'll be moved right away I'm sure. "Used car lot" I hate not being organized, or having to view such things on a daily basis, I agree totally. But that's the price we pay for renting. Good luck to you.

If it's her space, it's her right to use all of it. No matter how close she is to your car. No matter how much it inconveniences you. Unless the management requires her to park in her garage, then she is entitled to use it for storage and park in front of it.

I expect she didn't react well to your tone. I take your tone as being very peremptory. ("her car will NEED to be moved....!!, and "I told her that what she was doing was rude..."). Most people don't like to have demands issued to them, or be scolded by someone who thinks that her way is the only way. And simply because you've been doing something for 3 years doesn't give you special rights. You pushed her, and so she pushed right back.

There's a saying, "you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar..."

If you would like a more specific legal response as to who has what rights, I'd suggest you contact the flat management. But I'd guess you are just going to need to find a work-around for your son and his car seat.

Well to me she needs to make up her mind she is either going to store boxes in her space OR she is going to store her car. To me I think its asinine to think that its OK to park so closely to another car. That is just asking for dings and scratches on the cars. Also why would someone want to be bothered with having to move their car constantly just to move out of their neighbors way? Don't talk to her anymore go the building management SHOW them the issue and ask them how to solve this issue. Because this just sounds totally stupid to me.

Never mess with a little old lady! Yes she lacked courtesy definitely it was a nasty thing to do. I would deal with the manager of the flats from now on and try to avoid her if this is private property of the flats . Im trying to visualize this but cant quite-you are in UK?

Really, it's her right to park in front of her garage. You should leave it clear. But it is unfortunate you didn't know the garage was now in use, but you can't really blame her for that.
