Question
I would like to assign a different parking space to one of my tenants. I have an elderly tenant who has requested this spot, as it is easier for her to get her groceries into the unit. The other tenant is refusing and states that Rent Stabilization Ordinance will not allow a change in tenancy unless he agrees to it. Is this true?

Answer
The Rent Stabilization Ordinance does not allow a change in the terms of tenancy if it would increase the rent over the allowable amount or decrease services. You are allowed to change other terms of the tenancy, but you cannot evict based on that charge. In your case, you could assign a similar space to this tenant. If he refuses to accept the change, you could not evict but you could have his vehicle towed.
