We live in a block of flats with 6 flats all owned by the same landlord. There are 4 large flats and 2 small flats. We moved in around a year ago and just renewed our lease for another year.
When we moved in, the parking situation was that there were 2 bigger spaces on one side for our flat and another large flat (which is permanently occupied by their camper van) and then on the other side 3 very small spaces for flats 3-5 and then flat 6 doesn't have a parking space.
Flat 6 recently went on the market and im assuming he's had trouble letting it without parking because when i went outside this morning the green space which was shrubbery is being converted into driveway and the workmen told me that it is because its going to be space for 3 cars to give flat 6 some parking.
The issue is, part of the reason for renting this flat was the large parking space. We have a large car as we have 4 kids, including a newborn, so that's going to be a lot of getting kids in and out of car seats in tight spaces! It's not possible to do that if there were three cars, especially if two of them are our 7 seater and a camper van. I've done a quick measurement and it's pretty much exactly 7m across for the three spaces. With mirrors, our car is 2.14m wide and the camper is just over 2.3m.
It's already pretty difficult to reverse through the small gap and round into the space, its going to be more or less impossible going forward... Is there anything we can do about it? AIBU to expect my parking situation to remain the same throughout my tenancy? We weren't informed about this, let alone consulted..
