When and how to use this letter
Parking disputes are almost always decided by paperwork, not by who parked first. Your first move is to confirm your allotment: check your purchase or tenancy documents, the society's parking register, or your maintenance receipts. The letter asks the committee to confirm your slot in writing, which settles the matter if the other party is simply mistaken.
Photograph the occupied slot on several different dates with timestamps. A single photo can be dismissed as a one-off; a week's worth of photos shows a pattern. Note the offending vehicle's registration number — the society can identify the owner from its own records.
Keep the tone neutral and avoid accusing anyone of deliberate wrongdoing in writing. Many disputes come from genuine confusion after re-allotments, and a calm letter gets the committee on your side. Reserve firmness for the facts: your slot, their vehicle, the dates.
What happens next: the committee will usually verify allotments and issue a notice to the offending resident, which ends most disputes. If the other party claims the slot is theirs, ask for a joint verification against society records. For persistent encroachment, societies can levy fines under their bye-laws, and blocking your allotted slot repeatedly can be reported to the traffic police as wrongful obstruction.
