How to word a parking notice — and why written rules prevent disputes

Parking disputes are among the most common in shared buildings, and they usually start with ambiguity rather than malice. Whoever puts written rules in place, approves them at the tenants’ meeting and posts them on the board — saves themselves most of the arguments in advance. That’s why the notice opens with the most important anchor: the date of the meeting at which the rules were set. A rule set at a meeting is a binding decision of the condominium; a rule that appears only in a notice is a request.

Distinguish between two kinds of spaces: an assigned (deeded) space is registered as part of a specific apartment (usually in the Tabu land registry) and is private property in every respect — others may not park in it at all, not even “for a few minutes”. A shared parking area, by contrast, belongs to all the apartment owners, and the tenants’ meeting may regulate how it is used — guest parking, rotation, hours — by resolution.

Note the important limitation: a building committee’s enforcement powers are limited. The committee has no legal authority to impose fines, order a tow truck or stick threatening stickers — such steps can expose the committee itself to a lawsuit. That’s why the notice ends with a personal approach to the vehicle owner. For repeated, stubborn violations — especially in an assigned space — the route is for the space’s owner to seek legal advice or apply to the Supervisor of Land Registration.

A few wording rules that work: write in the first person plural (“we would like to refresh”), avoid personal accusations even when everyone knows who it’s about, and end on a positive note of mutual consideration. Post the notice on the board and at the garage entrance, and send a copy in the building’s WhatsApp group — a notice that arrives through several channels registers as a standing arrangement, not a momentary complaint.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the building committee fine a resident who parks in someone else’s space?

No. A building committee has no legal authority to impose fines or tow vehicles. The practical tools: a personal approach, a written notice, and for an assigned space — the space owner pursuing legal channels. Get advice before going beyond a polite approach.

What’s the difference between an assigned space and shared parking?

An assigned space is registered as part of a specific apartment (usually in the Tabu land registry) and is private property. Shared parking belongs to all the residents, and the tenants’ meeting decides how it is used.

How do you regulate guest parking in a shared building?

By a meeting resolution: define which spaces are open to guests, at what hours, and whether coordination is required. Publish the arrangement in writing — an unwritten rule is a rule that doesn’t exist.

A guest parked in my assigned space — what am I allowed to do?

Approach the vehicle owner or the resident hosting them and ask them to clear the space, and involve the committee so it refreshes the rules. Do not block the car, damage it or “punish” — whoever takes the law into their own hands can turn from the injured party into the defendant. For repeated violations, keep photo documentation and get legal advice.

What do you do about a car blocking the garage gate or the driving lane?

If a phone number was left behind the windshield — call. If not, ask in the residents’ group. A car blocking the exit to a public road or posing a danger — you can contact the municipality or the police, which do have towing authority. The committee itself may not order a tow truck on its own.

Key Takeaways

  • Written parking rules approved at a tenants’ meeting are a binding decision — always cite the meeting date in the notice
  • An assigned space is private property (registered in the Tabu) — others may not park in it at all; the shared area is regulated by the meeting
  • The committee cannot fine or tow — its tools are a written notice and a personal approach; towing only via the municipality/police
  • Guest parking, blocking and garage storage are regulated by meeting resolution and published in writing
