There’s all kinds of shady business going on out there these days…

And this story is yet another example of that unfortunate phenomenon.

It seems like just about everyone is looking for a way to make a few extra bucks, and the guy who wrote this story is ticked off because he thinks his parking spot is being sold to the highest bidder in a city with limited parking.

Check out what he had to say about this frustrating situation.

How Should Deal With a Caretaker Misusing Apartment Parking?

“I rent a flat in a small apartment building in Koregaon Park, Pune, India.

Out of 6 flats, only one owner lives here.

Three flats are leased by a company as guest houses and are managed by a caretaker.

How annoying…

For the past several months, vehicles associated with those guest houses have repeatedly blocked my parking space, preventing me from taking my car out.

I have photo evidence and have informed the broker multiple times, but nothing has changed.

Today it happened again, and I had an argument with the caretaker.

He moved the vehicle, but the issue keeps recurring.

And it even sounds a bit sketchy…

I’ve recently heard that he may be allowing outsiders to park in the building in exchange for money, possibly because parking is scarce in the area.

Since there is very little oversight, I’m concerned this may be contributing to the problem.

What is the best way to handle this situation calmly and effectively?”
