Neighbour parking in my space

I live in rented accommodation and have two spaces allocated to my property, one of which is part of a large paved area without lines on. The people who bought the next door also have two spaces which is part of this paved area. In the past they've parked in such a way that I couldn't park there so I went to knock on their door to welcome to the neighbourhood and ask them to be careful how they parked as I wasn't able to park my car, there was no reply so I sent a nice letter, had it checked by a few people who agreed it wasn't confrontational it was nice and polite. I saw them and discussed it and they were fine, said it was teething problems of moving to a new home, which is fine. I usually park in that paved bit as i get my visitors to park in the other one. A few days ago I got in quite late and parked in the 'visitors' space for convenience (I have to reverse into the other one to get the baby car seat out) and since then theyve parked in such a way I can't park there. A lot of people will say: you're not using it so why be annoyed? But I've had a few visitors who haven't been able to park at mine. Am I being unreasonable to being annoyed they're blocking my space from access? Any advice?

So they should be close to the fence (assuming it continues as a fence among the left side of the frame?! They're taking the piss!!!!

It looks like they've just swung in and stopped without any thought. I'd keep parking in their spaces if they carry on.

Wtf why are they parked so far over in a FIESTA?! Makes no sense. Keep knocking on their door everytime. Idiots.

That's not parked it's abandoned.

Don't mark the space or put a bollard in as others have suggested as to don't own the place and I doubt you'd be allowed!

I'd just try to catch them again and have another polite word then park there whenever you can.

I've drawn on the photos what I think the spaces are supposed to be, is this right op?

I would start abandoning my car just how they park between the other two spaces so that they have no space to park their second car. I'm pretty sure they will soon get the message.

That's bang on. Really good deduction lol! Trust me, if they put their car there again, even if they move later, I'll leave my car there! Just because I don't park in my usual space does not mean they should park so abysmally! X
