A car and a motorbike can share the same space, as long as both remain within the limits marked on the ground and do not hinder the circulation or manoeuvres of other users of the car park.
If any of the vehicles invades the common areas, protrudes from the square or complicates access to the adjoining garages, the community of owners may demand that one of them be removed to recover normal conditions of use.
Some communities of owners, housing estates or buildings They include in their statutes the obligation to allocate each space to the parking of a single vehicle.
When this limitation is included in the documents and was approved with all the legal guarantees, the owners must comply with it, regardless of whether a car and a motorcycle physically fit in the same space.
In addition to the Property Law Horizontal (LPH), there are technical issues that are often ignored, but which are just as decisive:
The communal garages have a municipal license that establishes the number of spaces and the planned capacity for parking.
If the number of vehicles actually parked exceeds that contemplated in the authorised project, problems may arise related to ventilation, smoke evacuation or fire protection measures.
In addition, some insurance policies may establish specific conditions on the use of the garage, which makes this issue an important aspect from the point of view of community responsibility.
Before using a space to park two vehicles, it is best to review the statutes of the community of owners, the internal regulations and ask the president or the property manager if there are any specific limitations. This avoids conflicts with other neighbors, possible claims and even sanctions.
