Parked car blocks our garage

Hi there,

We are in a similar situation to a lot of posters on this forum, with the problem of people parking on common property. We own a place in a block of apartments. The complex has a row of garages each with “common property” out the front (used to access them). The standard has been set amongst renters who are too lazy to open their lock up garage doors, to just park out the front of their garage.

Now, normally this would not bother us, but of course we are at the end next to a brick wall, and when the tenants (who use the garage next to ours), park in front of their garage, is severely restricts access into our garage, making it next to impossible to get in/out.

We have asked them nicely not to park there since we have a big car and cannot get in, but they basically say tough luck and that they will move their car each time if we need to get in/out. Obviously this is not on and against the by-laws (that are clearly stated), so my question is rather simple, though please excuse my naivety as to how to deal with things like this:

What are the correct steps of action required to get this to stop?! Who do we need to contact to make it official, do we need other owners to sign something as witnesses? The only way I can see it stopping, is if they are threatened to be evicted via an “official” warning.

thanks a lot for your help!
