Legal Question in Administrative Law in Pennsylvania

Re: parking in front of house

You asked about annoying rental neighbors parking.

You might try pointing out to them that the law requires parking in a certain manner. Point out that generally you don't have complaints, but would like to park in front of your house. And be able to get in and out of your drive.

Also explain to them that you can have a good neighbor relationship or a bad neighbor relationship and that it is entirely their choice. All they need to do is ask their friends to park elsewhere. If they choose to be bad neighbors then you have every right to call the authorities for every single violation you see. Car parked too close to your drive, call police and have it ticketed and towed. Garbage cans left out too long, have the neighbor ticketed.

I'm not a fan of petty actions, but there is no reason that they should not respect your rights as you will respect theirs. Further, pointing out such annoyances you your local officials is often quite helpful as you are paying local taxes and voting and the renters are not doing either (renters are much less likely to vote).

Also speak with the local police so they know what to expect before the situation arise. They can then understand that you have a legitimate goal and aren't just throwing them to the wolves.

Also look at your motivations. What is the real problem? Do you have difficulty parking or is that just an annoyance on top of other issues. Maybe you need to have a sit down with yourself, the landlord and the tenants to resolve the matters.

Hope this helps,
