    Default Harrassment from Condo Board About My Tenants

    My question involves a condominium located in the State of: Maryland

    I have a tenant that has been in my condo for just over a year. She has a 45 year old son and a 20 year old son and she owns a repo toe truck that she shares with another owner (so she has the truck 1/2 the time).

    When she 1st moved in we got complaints from the downstairs neighbor that she did not think kids should be allowed in condo's as she did not want them playing in the yrad, on the stairs etc. We put a stop to that when it was clear the child/tenant had broken no rules, were quiet during the quiet times, and toobad she did not like him playing in the "common yard" as they had just as much a right to be there as she..

    Fast forward a few months ago I got a letter that the tow truck had been parked there over night on several occasions - I contacted the tenant to let them know that was not allowed (no comercial terucks can park over night) and that has stopped..

    NOW - one of the other tenants is complaining that the tow truck even comes into the parking lot at ALL?? even if just for a fewminutes to run in, drop off something and leave again... Do they have any legal right to say that the truck can never be there? There are work trucks in the parking lot all the time during the day??

    Also my tenant has a ford Bronco - late model and the top can come off in the summer.. Its an older car so is louder than a new car but it is a LEGAL titled vehicle with no "noise packages" added to it.. This person is reporting that an "OFF ROAD" vehicle that is loud is being parked in the lot.. I have asked for them to show me where in the rules it states that a legal vehicle cannot be parked there (they said they would get back to me) and where it says that work trucks can never come into the lot.. again they are going to get back to me.

    At this ppint they have threatened a hearing and I live out of state. I feel like now they are harrassing me and my tenants and they my tenants must have rights too (to not be singled out or harrassed).

    I have also asked if they have sent letters to every owne who has a work vehicle at the home and any other late model cars but they said they were checking on that as well..

    What do I do? My tenants are not breaking any rules at this point but we continue to get letters and threats,.

    Read the condo rules. Do they say "tenants shall not have their commercial vehicles on the premises at any time", or something equivalent, that's the rule. If there is no such rule, then there is no such rule (unless or until they pass one). The condo rules govern the situation.
