driveway parking issue

By Cheryl

Landlord said driveway was shared, nothing about the tenants who live downstairs involves a shared driveway. They park right at the end of it even blocking the sidewalk sometimes. I called the police a couple of times to get things documented. Rent is supposed to include off street parking. I will have NO off street parking when winter comes and landlord does nothing to resolve situation, even though he said he would send out a letter reminding them to share the driveway parking. If I use the driveway the lady downstairs blocks the end of the driveway from the street blocking me in 100%. I have taken about 100 pictures of them blocking the driveway since I moved in July 1st. Tenants downstairs even went away for 10 days and left cars in drive while gone. I called landlord he said there isnt room for 3 cars and to be happy they left me a walkway. Yes, the people downstairs have 2 cars. I am assuming that he knows then we will be in trouble this winter. Or should I say I WILL be in trouble seeing that there are 3 cars here (his own words)”but not enough room for 3 cars??”. I dont know if I should demand a rent reduction, take people downstairs to court, or get a mediator for the situation. Please help, Nov 15th is gonna come quick and I cant be stuck in the winter. Oh, and I love the apartment otherwise. Thanks!
