I have received 3 parking tickets for parking in my own parking space at my apartment, the parking company say i should display a permit, they say i can opt out which i have done but still want me to pay for parking in my legally own spot? is this legal opr enforceable as i feel i should just say take me to court as surely they cannot win???

It depends upon the wording in your lease. What does it say about 1) You parking and 2) the landlord's right to make 'regulations' for the effective management of the property?

Winning at court is not guaranteed.
Which parking company? -------------------- RK=Registered Keeper, OP=Original Poster (You!), CoFP=Conditional Offer of Fixed Penalty, NtK=Notice to Keeper, NtD=Notice to Driver
PoFA=Protection of Freedoms Act, SAC=Safety Awareness Course, NIP=Notice of Intended Prosecution, ADR=Alternative Dispute Resolution PPC=Private Parking Company, LBCCC=Letter Before County Court Claim, PII=Personally Identifiable Information, SAR=Subject Access Request Private Parking - remember, they just want your money and will say almost anything to get it. |

understood will check the leasehold but in any event shouldnt the freeholder have a duty to inform the owners that the parking policeing is not compulsary and that we can opt out?

It depends entirely upon what your lease says. That's why I have now mentioned it three times.

It's not even difficult to lose in court, if you're not up to the challenge or don't comply with directions and deadlines. On top of that, judges do make mistakes. So consider your next move carefully--and the best way to do that is to completely understand the strength of your defence. Have you reviewed the requested paragraphs of your lease document? --Churchmouse |

ok i now have the lease, its say several things some that support my parking and some contradictory
1st good one it states i have the 1.the right to park roadworthy motor cars (but not vans lorries or commercial vehicles) in the parking space 2. the car aprking space allocated for the exclusive use off the lessee shall be used individuallyfor the parkingof a single roadworthy motor car only and not at any time whatsoever as a parking space for commercial vehcile or trailer of any discription and use of any visitor parking space will be only for a short stay parking by visitors or invitees to the property. but has another clause which say 3.at his own expense observe all conditions all conditions on any planning or permissions relating to the property and all sanitary and other regulations required to be observed by lawful authority whether by the owner or occupier on or in connection with or in relation to the property or any part thereoff 4 in using the communal areas and the access ways neither the lessee nor any member of the lessee household are to (a) contravene any reasonable parking or trafic regulation arrangements displayed on notices there? there is also a conenenat that says the lessee paying the rent and observing and performing the said covenants conditions and provisions herein contained shall and may peaceably possess and enjoy the property for the term without lawful interruption from or by the lessee or any person rightfully claiming through under or in trust for it so as you can see, not sure which clause takes precident?? there doesn't,t seem to be any requirement for the manament company to give notice of any intention to invoke rules or permits etc? any adviee would be welcome??

Your no. 4 refers to using the communal areas and the access ways.
Your exclusive parking space is outwith that definition. -------------------- Cabbyman 11 PPCs 0

Indeed. 4 does not apply to your exclusive parking space
You should now be telling your MC to INSTRUCT their agent to cease trespassing on your demised space, and cancell all unlawfully issued "parking charges", else you will start proceedings agaisn the MC for breach of your lease, trespass to goods and land, and harassment. You will also seek an injunction against them and their agent from entering your exclusive parking space. This is their only warning. |

As the lease talks about "the car parking space allocated for the exclusive use off the lessee", no party to the lease can make it available to the parking operator for the purposes of its business because, to do so, would derogate from the right already granted to you to its EXCLUSIVE use. If you have never heard of the legal principle of non-derogation from grant, I would suggest that you google it.

You will also seek an injunction against them and their agent from entering your exclusive parking space. This is their only warning. Do the above, and add that if the parking firm sue over these unlawful charges you will add the MC to the case and will require them to attend court to explain their position in allowing this third party to cause you a repeated private nuisance and to interfere with your exclusive amenity, and then compounding the matter by refusing to exercise their clear right to tell their agent to cancel the meritless PCNs and to cease and desist with this trespass. |

Paragraph 3 also has nothing to do with this situation. It refers to compliance with planning and permissions issued by governmental authorities. Even if it was applicable, like the other restrictions in the lease, violation of such restrictions results in a breach of the lease--not the breach of an irrelevant third-party parking contract. --Churchmouse |
