Re: Landlord and manager change
A new landlord and/or manager would have to observe the terms of any lease, but you don't say whether you had a long-term lease or only a month-to-month rental agreement. If the latter, the rent and other terms can be changed by 30 or 60 days' prior notice. 30 days if the net effect is a 10% or less rent increase; 60 days if the increase exceeds 10%.
Re: Landlord and manager change
If you have a lease, check if the 2nd parking space is listed as part of your leasehold interest.
Also, depending upon where you live in California, the actions by the new landlord may be subject to rent control. Read your lease, and find out about rent control in your city. Good luck!
