What happens if a car is parked near someone else’s lot in the country?
In the summer, many city dwellers move to their summer cottages and other country estates. Along with them, conflicts related to parking in the conditions of a shortage of parking spaces are also transferred to the “pastoral”. The AvtoVzglyad portal tells about the nuances of a “car” hostel on the territory of a private residential area.

With all the apparent living space a private country home offers, neighbors in cottage villages and gardening associations often face a dire shortage of parking space when parking cars on the street in front of the house. It is nice if the owner of the property does not mind if the neighbors park their car in front of his gate. Much more often this way causes conflicts between owners. Is it possible to somehow deal with a neighbor who parks brutally in front of your house without resorting to attacks and guerrilla warfare?

To answer this question, we need to consider two fundamentally different scenarios. Under one of these, the land between your site and the carriageway of the street is officially yours, or you have signed an agreement with the administration of the village (if we are talking about a house in the village) for the rent of this piece of public street. In this scenario, as a full-fledged user of the “fence-to-road” space, you can use all legal methods to prevent a stranger from entering your territory. Until the call of the police, who will be obliged to remove his vehicle, also using a tow truck.

Yes, no one has done away with all kinds of chain posts with locks and other obstacles to parking. On your land, although it is behind the fence of the property, you have the right to put concrete gouges at the very least. A much more slippery situation arises in the event that the entire space behind the fence of your “hacienda” has nothing to do with you legally. There is therefore no formal way to prevent someone else’s car from being parked, not even within a few centimeters of your gate.

In the arsenal of the legal battle against rude parking, you can invoke the impact on the arrogant car owner via complaints to the municipal administration or the board of the garden association. This path is not particularly promising. It also makes sense to try to “go in” on the side of the traffic rules. Article 12.4 of the Rules states that even stopping (not to mention parking) is prohibited if it prevents the movement (entering or disembarking) of other vehicles, as well as hinders the movement of pedestrians.

To combat a neighbor’s unashamedly parked car, you can try to call the traffic police, who must fine him under Art. 12.19 of the Code of Administrative Offenses: 500 rubles for “violation of the parking rules”, or 2000 rubles – for “creating obstacles to the movement of other vehicles”. Obviously, problems can arise with a traffic police’s call to a remote garden partnership. Traffic cops will most likely try to ignore your objection. To get what you want, you have to do it regularly – strictly by calling 112 (where all professions are registered), and then, without waiting for the arrival of the squad, methodically write complaints to the local prosecutor’s office about the facts of police passivity.

In this way, over time it is quite possible to first “train” the traffic cops (to come to your calls), and then the cunning car owner: tired of paying fines for parking at your gate, he will eventually stop doing it. It is true that at the same time there is a good chance that you will lose a good relationship with your neighbors: they will begin to circumvent you as a dangerous slanderer, or, as often happens with us, they will in every way and quietly play mischief with you …
