Free Traffic Legal Advice

Thanks for this — really helpful. I didn’t challenge the operator on the landowner contract during the internal appeals stage — is that a problem for POPLA or can I still raise it now?

In terms of the tenancy, under the Special Tenancy Conditions there’s a very simple clause:
8.2 Additional clause(s):
• Parking: Car park space 50

There’s no mention of any requirement to display a permit or to register my vehicle. Nor does it say anything about being bound by a third-party operator’s terms or signage. The space is part of the tenancy.

The parking is ANPR-controlled and I was only asked to register my vehicle via a QR code link sent by the managing agent. It just said:

“Welcome to (Building Name) – E Permit Parking Registration”
and instructions to register one vehicle per flat. There was no mention that this was a legal requirement or that failure to register would constitute a breach of contract or tenancy. So I could argue I only registered out of courtesy and to avoid hassle — not out of obligation.

Do you recommend I ask the landlord for a copy of the head lease as well, to back this up?
