Residents of the area who have a second vehicle have begun to be asked to pay for parking.

While estates resort to renting guest parking for a fee to site residents with two or more vehicles, it has been claimed that this practice is irregular if it is not included in the site management plan.

Some housing estate administrations have begun to send letters to apartment owners who have two or three vehicles, although they have the right to park one, and demand a fee for parking spaces used for guests. In the letters sent to the owners of the flats it is also announced that the residents of the plot who do not remove vehicles other than their own from the parking lot and do not pay the fee will be sanctioned.

Yahya Sağır, President of the Confederation of Facility Managers, pointed out that there is a parking distribution plan attached to the site management plans and stated that in this distribution plan, the number of parking spaces for each independent section, i.e. , by floor, it is clear.

Sağır stated that in some sites there are as many parking spaces as independent sections, and in some sites, the number of independent sections is greater than the number of parking spaces, Sağır explained that in such sites, the first resident of the site parks in the parking area. empty and other vehicles remain outside. Sağır stated that in some places, duplex or 4 plus 1 apartments have two or three parking rights.

AUTHORITY MAY HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Sağır stated that management plans should be taken into account regarding the recent request of some site administrators to charge fees to site residents who have a second or third vehicle, saying: “If there is no provision in the site management plan stating that the guest parking areas of the site can be rented, in no way can the apartment owners or any other person rent them. It does not conform to the procedure. For example, the site has 226 spaces of parking for 226 independent sections and a guest parking for 30 cars. If guest parking is not provided for in the management plan, if a decision on this has not been made at the general meeting and if the management plan does not say “may allocate space to apartments that request it for a fee,” the site administrations are wrong and cannot charge a fee. “There may also be a provision in the management plan that gives authority to the board of directors on this issue, “then the board’s decision on this issue will be acted upon and, if desired, it can be rented.” he said.

Noting that management plans are created when sites are established, Sağır said that these plans can be changed by a four-fifths majority meeting at general assemblies.

Sağır also gave information about the procedure to follow if the site administration requests a parking fee and said: “The site resident will first pay the parking fee and receive the receipt. Regardless of whether he is a tenant or a landlord, he can file a lawsuit in the civil peace court on this issue.” saying.

MANAGEMENT PLANS SHOULD BE EASY TO ACCESS

Sağır pointed out that if the management plans cannot be obtained from the site management, they can be obtained from the General Directorate of Property Registration and Cadastre and said:

“You can obtain the management plan by making an appointment at the property registry and paying for each page, but these procedures take time. Shown only to title holders. It is necessary to facilitate obtaining management plans. It should be as easy as seeing the property title, it should be visible through e-government. If a person is going to buy a flat on that site, he should have the right to see the management plan. Sometimes even the people who manage the sites from the outside are not shown the management plan. “We are addressing the General Directorate of Property Registry and Cadastre about this issue and request that these processes be facilitated.” (AA)
