There are going to be a lot of things we post on here that will simply boggle the minds of most humans. This is one of them.

These people have assigned parking at a 3-unit rental property that leaves ample space for them to park their 2 cars on a paved driveway. Instead they park the car in the backyard farther away from the entrance to the their apartment than the parking is. What do you do in this case?

Other than maybe taking a shot of whiskey in disbelief you send them an email with the parking diagram they received at move in reminding them to please park in their assigned spot. In all seriousness having the parking diagram to refer to takes the emotion out of the situation for the landlord or property manager in this case.

On a side note, there is a vacant rental unit in this building that I was showing yesterday and the perspective tenant asked “why is that car in the backyard?” My response: “Who knows.” I was bewildered to the point where I couldn’t even come up with a witty or professional response.
