Horizontal Property Law parking regulations

Overview

The Horizontal Property Law provides specific guidelines for homeowners regarding the use of parking spaces and the installation of modifications within community garages.

Regulations allow for multiple vehicles, such as a car and a motorcycle, to occupy a single space if they remain within designated lines and do not obstruct others, though community statutes may prohibit this. Regarding electric vehicle charging, the Supreme Court has affirmed that owners may install charging points without a community vote, provided they notify the community in advance and bear all associated costs and maintenance responsibilities.

Recent disputes have tested these boundaries, such as a case involving the installation of a metal railing in a parking space following a neighborly disagreement. Legal experts note that while owners may modify allocated spaces with installations like railings, such changes must not compromise the building’s structural security, exterior appearance, or the rights of other residents, and must be reported to the community representative.
