Parking in lease or HOA

Having somewhere to keep a car or motorbike is a need in many cities. Parking can be included in the lease or contracted separately.

Types

• Private parking assigned to your apartment.
• Shared parking by turns or for visitors.
• Public car parks by month or hour.
• Spaces rented in neighbouring buildings.

What to check

Confirm whether the space is included in the deed and the contract, its size, access and security. Ask about additional charges and whether motorbikes are covered.

Building rules

The rules may set hours, vehicle type and usage rules. Visitor spaces have time limits.

Security and insurance

Ask about cameras, surveillance and liability for damage or theft. Extra insurance can cover the vehicle.

Subletting

Do not sublet the space without authorisation from the owner or administration.
