How do I deal with a dishonest building manager?
My friend has been renting a parking space for over 10 years from the owner of a condo in Hawaii. Last week, the new bldg mgr approached her and told her they were no longer allowing non-tenants to park their cars in the building, citing “zoning regulations.” He told her he would give her a month to find parking somewhere else. The owner my friend rents from was not notified of this change in policy and another stall renter had not heard anything either. My friend thinks the bldg mgr is trying to get rid of her so one of the two security guards can have her prime (next to both the elevator and the stairs) parking space. She previously had problems with the security guards parking in her stall when she arrived in the morning (our office is 2 blocks away) and also when she went on vacation for 2 weeks. Her owner is checking with the condo board president now, but does she really have to vacate her parking space? How should she deal with with this situation?
The manager is an employee of the condo association. If the Association has allowed the sub-letting of the car parking to your friend, then the manager does not have any authority what so ever to enforce this so called zoning law. If such a zoning regulation is in place, then the chain of command should be like this. From the Association to the owner of the condo, to your friend who is renting it. The manager has the authority to enforce such a regulation but only if he has been given a directive by the association to do so. He simply can not do this on his own whim. That is the law. Even though your friend can not do anything to him, but he can certainly ask the owner of the condo to take up the matter with the association and have them reprimand this Manager. What I can see here is just a case of some immature person who has been put in a position of authority and who is just going around bullying people because he thinks he can. People like that ought to be put in their place very quickly.
