What do you do if you're a tenant and the owner failed to tell you that RV's are only allowed in the driveway for 72 hours? That happened to me when we rented a home in Sunset Point years ago, we had a small 19' van conversion motorhome and that is all we had down here. We got a notice from the compliance department stating that it could not be parked there. I explained that we weren't too that and landlords should include a copy of the deed restrictions to all tenants as we did not know and had nothing else to drive. I called the county sheriff and asked him if there was a law stating I could not park on the street since they were county streets. His answer was that I could as long as I was not blocking a stop sign or fire hydrant. The home was on a cul-de-sac so I asked all of the neighbors if they would prefer my parking in the driveway or on the street, all wanted it in the driveway. I notified the compliance officer as to what I found out and he allowed it to stay in the driveway. I don't know what the law is up there now but that's how it went down back then. We rented down here 6 or 7 winters and were never given a copy of deed restrictions or rules/regulations to follow from any of the owners. Maybe that should be mandatory when renting a home.
