We just moved into a little villa that we love but our elderly neighbor keeps parking in our assigned spot. Each resident is assigned 2 spots and overflow parking in close lot. The first time he parked in our spot while were in the parking lot. My husband later asked him nicely for his spot back. He moved and I thought we had the issue resolved.
Today, he parked in husband's spot and left his two spots vacant. I went over there and asked him if knew they were our spots and he said yes. I told him that we need those spots available for us at all times. He said that he was used to parking there because the last owner was never home (vacation property) He said it was hard to break habits. I said yep, but we need our spots. The whole time we had been there, he had been testing us. He takes other peoples spots too, but nobody ever says anything to him. He said that he would take care of it and then I heard him mutter, "Be a good neighbor, b*tch". I couldn't believe he was so rude! When he finally moved, I parked my car in both spots!!
What should I do if this happens again? I'm not out to make enemies here, but I paid for those spots.
Is there someone you can report this to? Other than that I can’t think of much you can do other than ask him to remove his car each time or have it towed
I told the HOA people and they said to talk to him. After 3 strikes, file a formal complaint. I really don't wont any trouble where I live, especially not with an 80 yr old man. If he asked if he could use our spot, that would be different. He just helped himself.

Document each instance of poaching with a photo of his car in your spot and written notes that reflect the conversation. If he’s rude to you again, make sure you jot down what he said.
Most people “really don’t want any trouble.” That’s why bullies succeed. The only thing they understand is pushback.
