My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: California
I live in a house with 7 different people and parking is limited. We live in a house that has room for 3 cars, 2 under a carport on the driveway and another spot beside it. One of the room mates has 2 cars, one of the cars broke down 4 months ago and has been sitting under a car port spot for 4 months and another that he drives. His car has been broken so long that people have begun to park behind his car making it difficult for any car in the other spot to get out and requires driving on the grass of the front yard to avoid a collision. Others are inconvenienced by having to walk further to park. I asked him to at least park the disabled car on the section of the driveway where no one will park behind thus removing the problem of people potentially blocking others as no one has been inconsiderate enough to park behind an active car. I'm also asking that he park his other car on the sidewalk only to allow others a chance to park in the other 2 spots. This room mate has refused to compromise and claims it his right to park as he chooses.
I am considering asking the landlord to compel him to compromise. I am not exactly sure the landlord can compel him to do so. I am reading the lease and the closest thing I could find to address this is under a section for Maintenance and repair; rules. "Not obstruct the driveways, sidewalks, courts, entry ways, stairs and/or halls, which shall be used for the purpose of ingress and egress only;" Would this statement give my landlord the right to compel a compromise or does the landlord have the right under another principal?
