I live in an apartment complex and have been for 3 years. No problem parking my bike for 2+ years, however recently, management has changed and doesn't allow bikes in the underground car park. I tried contacting them but they refused to talk to me and said they only deal with leaseholders. I sought legal advice as I wasn't about to pay £750/mo for parking local to me. I went abroad for 2-3 months and came back to stickers on my bike saying they would remove my motorcycle within 2 weeks if not removed. I found this note 6 weeks after they put it (I asked the concierge). I tried contacting them through my rental agency and they told me to wait for a reply. In the meantime, they put a sticker on my tank. I immediately told them I would charge them if I was unable to remove it or if there was damage to the paint, as it was vandalism (it is illegal to 1) remove my vehicle from the car park if I do not allow it and 2) to vandalise it) I got this info from a local solicitor. They backed off and now have implemented a new car parking company to deal with this. I am sending off my bike to Turkey within 10 days so nothing can happen, but in the case, i wasn't, would they be able to fine me if i had covers on my bike and no plates? Not that i would do this as i can't be arsed to deal with the headache, but they are just plain annoying.

I'll add that the reason I'm not allowed to have a motorbike in the underground parking is because it's hazardous. Yes, hazardous. The same but smaller engine that powers all 50 cars in the garage, is somehow hazardous.

Who is your property leasing contract with, do you pay extra for the right to use the underground car park and were you advised about the changes?

Also remember that from a private car park company cannot 'fine' you, only 'officials' such a the Courts, Councils, Police (and a few more like DVLA) can issue a fine. The others can send you an invoice which you can dispute.
