We are currently renting a house which has private parking in a gated courtyard. There are six houses and three flats in the complex. The larger houses, like ours, have two parking spaces; the smaller houses and flats have one allocated space. If we owned the house, then we would own the spaces (as some other residents do). However, our rental agreement includes two parking spaces. So, to make things like getting DS & DD out of the car, loading up for car boots, etc. I park down the middle of our two spaces. The thing is, one of the other residents thinks we are being greedy (he has one allocated space which is taken up by his car) and tries to park a generator-type contraption in our spaces every day. He works for a utility company and brings his van and generator home. He happily parks the van on the road outside, thank god. I have asked him repeatedly not to block my car in, and his initial response was 'I can believe your little car needs so much space'. Last night I parked properly (!) in one space so MIL had somewhere to park, and I woke up to find the generator slap bang in our parking space. I put a very polite note through his door asking him to move it, but he pushed it back through my door with 'fuck off' written on it. He is such a meat head and I don't know what to do. AIBU? Should I just concede defeat?
