Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

I work in an office building Florida. There are two towers and two lots. In tower 1, we are at full capacity and as a result, parking lot 1 is always full. People from tower 1 then park in parking lot 2, in the spaces furthest away from tower 2. There are enough spaces in parking lot 2 to accommodate the overflow, however, the building management has prohibited people from tower 1 from parking in parking lot 2. They have started to threaten towing of tower 1 cars from parking lot 2. In order to alleviate some of the parking issues in parking lot 1, building management has leased a few additional spaces in a parking garage a 15 minute walk away from tower 1. Very few people are using it. My question is, what are the laws regarding limiting use of parking lots if they are on the same property? Can office management threaten to tow? We don't have parking stickers to identify where we are supposed to park. Can I sue them for not allowing us to use parking lot 2 when there is enough space that doesn't require us to walk from 15 minutes away?

The owner of private parking lots can limit who parks in those lots. you have no standing to sue to be able to park in a lot that they owner says is not available for that function. Your employer should be the one working this out with the building owner.
