    Default Parking Truck At An Apartment Parking Lot

    My question involves a consumer law issue in the State of: Pennsylvania
    I park my FedEx small size diesel truck on the parking lot near the appartment bulding where I live. The parking is permitted only if you have a special sticker. I have that sticker on my car. The problem is that I wake up at 6 o'clock in the morning and to go work on my truck, which makes noise ( like usual trucks do). The manager of the appartment building told me that she got complains from the residents about how they wake up early in the morning because of my truck. The manager told me that if I'm not going to park my truck somewhere else, she's going to kick us out. Our lease doesn't say anything about trucks.
    Is it legal?

    Question Re: Parking Truck At The Appartment Parking Lot

    Please clarify... Does the truck have the required sticker and is it parked in the lot owned by the apartment complex?

    If the landlord does not want to continue your tenancy, your landlord can end your tenancy at the end of your lease or upon proper notice if you do not have a lease.

    Is it legal?
    I can't say if it's legal or not legal, but I was asked by my very first landlady not to park my car in the lot any more behind her four family house, because when I started up my car to go to work, I woke up all her other tenants.

    Is it legal for me to do that?? Probably, but I didn't check with an attorney. She told me all her other tenants would be leaving if I didn't leave.

    I thought about it, and I was taught by my parents to respect the right of others, so I parked it down the street, far away from the house. I thought that was the decent and right thing to do.

    A co-worker I knew had a next store neighbor that came home late at night in a noisy motorcycle that woke up the neighborhood. Apparently, there was nothing the neighbors can do because they were told there's nothing illegal. So my co-worker, a rather smart guy, spoke to his councilman, would was smart enough to to sponsor abd passed a "noise ordinance" that outlawed noisy motocycles. What was legal is now "illegal".

    As to your "truck", if it's not already "illegal" in a resdidential zone, your neighbors can easily make it so by requesting a municipal ordinance banning the parking of commercial vehicles in residential districts, a common practice in my areas.

    A tenant of mine had a next door neigbbor parking his employer's plumbing truck in front of his (actually my) house. Since it was illegal to have commercial vehicles parking in THAT residential district, he had the truck ticketed, and could have had it towed. The neighbor refused to take the hint not to park the ugly truck in front of the house.

    My suggestion is move that truck, as it might be illegal, or it can easily be made illegal.
