Resident tenants fined for parking in residents&#39; parking area
<p>A magement company owns a block of flats and the surrounding plot of land.</p>

<p>Flat "owners"/leaseholders take out a mortgage to lease the flats for a number of years.</p>

<p>They sublet to tenants (with permission).</p>

<p>Parking enforcement is put into place by the management company and contracted out.</p>

<p>Parking permits are sent to the leaseholders, including non-resident ones.</p>

<p>Subletters/resident tenants (who have let flats advertised with parking) are fined for parking in the residents' parking area until they get the permits.</p>

<p>Do the tenants have a legal basis for having such fines waived or reclaiming them?</p>

<p>Only governments can levy fines ... don't pay them. You don't have to give people money just because they ask for it. </p>
