[quote=UCGal]I would make sure there’s a problem before making a big deal about it. I live in a single family neighborhood but rent out a granny flat. We worked with the neighbors when they complained our tenant was parking in front of their house. It was resolved with no issue as soon as it was brought to our attention.
In other words – my advise is don’t make waves if there really is no problem.

Totally agree with spdrun and others on this issue. Like UCGal, I used to rent rooms to tenants and two of them started parking in front of our neighbor’s house across the street. The neighbor (a friend of mine, too) came over and asked if they could stop parking in front of her house, I passed along the message, and it was all taken care of. The tenants initially balked, saying that they were legally allowed to park anywhere on the public street (true), but I asked them to be thoughtful of the neighbors and told them that if they didn’t want to be considerate, they would have to move out — while I think neighbors need to mind their own business, it’s important to be considerate of others, too, especially if it impacts their day-to-day life. Ended up not being a problem from then on.
