Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California
Blocked Parking
I park my car in a single enclosed garage. My Garage happens to be nest to the fire lane, which is also used by residents for loading and un-loading only. It is a battle everyday trying to acess my garage because it is always blocked by maintence, other residents and even the Manager on site and her family members! This poses a big problem for coming and going! I have to have the menager ask people to move their cars, and of course hers as well! In my lease it states that no-one is to park there! I even spoke to the owner and shhe told me that she would speak to the manager. Nothing is being done! Is the reason to terminate my lease early?

Re: Blocked Parking
I can appreciate your frustration.
Most landlords understand money.
Situations like this are not covered by most codes, but since this is in your lease, I would send landlord a certified letter that you will begin withholding a percentage of the rent (say 10%) for your troubles with the fire lane, until they have removed your obstacles.
However, I am not sure that a judge will consider this enough of a reason to break the lease.
