Auto Policies

I have the usual "Auto must be in operable condition, tagged with no damage" policy We also have a "2 cars per household" limit (all of my units are 2 bedrooms).

I don't really enforce the "No damage" and "2-cars" limit. I write newsletter articles about once or twice a year about it.

I would really like to be more strict about our auto polices just to improve the curb appeal. I have a couple of households with autos that are missing hubcaps. It drives me crazy.

I'm afraid I'd be too strict about it if I required all vehicles to have all of them. I have one particular household who has 3 cars and parks all 3 right outside their front door. I've asked them several times to park one of them (we don't have assigned parking) in the extra spaces about 30 feet from their front door, but they don't.

They have an old Cadillac eyesore with no hubcaps and a large, old Chev. Capri with an elaborate paint job and huge, shiny rims. The rims dissapear about every 3 months leaving just hubcaps. We have a local store called "Rent and Roll" that rents rims, probably what they do.

It really brings the curb appeal down. Their neighbors hate the cars because they are a little loud. I'm not sure if I want to address the condition of the vehicles that really are not too bad.

It's hard to tell residents they have an ugly car and put hubcaps on them.

What do you think?

Let me know if you want photos to see what I'm talking about.

PLEASE! NO PHOTOS!


So you WANT to be the parking police! :ohmy:
Whatever policies you have, enforce them...or you'll have car-creep, which is not the same as, but is related to, creepy cars! People judge your car appeal as part of your curb appeal...so control what you reasonably can!
Sending you our parking addendum. It doesn't address your specific questions, but maybe it will help.
