Hi.
I own a house on a shared driveway but am having huge issues with the tenants in one house.
To begin with, the original tenants were a mother with 2 older daughters, one a school and one working, which was fine. Their only car park on the Crosslease is in their garage.
About 15 months ago, the oldest daughter, her husband and 5? children moved into a storage room under the house, with only one small door and window. They put their stuff in the garage, and the car started being parked on the driveway. The oldest daughter parked hers in one of the visitor parks.
This was supposed to be temporary, but 15 months later: there are four cars, taking up all the visitor parks and often blocking access to the driveway as they are permanently parked on the edge of the drive, so it is very hard to get out as they also leave their bins in the turning bay and the garage door open a fraction to 'air'. They also have two dogs and about 6/7 cats as they don't neuter. They all are undersized, like the 5 children and the animals all sit in the driveway.
this is in Onehunga, auckland.
A fire truck or emergency vehicle would not be able to get up the driveway.
My question is :how can I get them to behave?
is there council bylaws around overcrowding and so many animals I can report?
I am concerned about the children as the room beneath is only a storage room, and there are so many of them.
Also, is there a way to get them to remove the cars?
i don't have contact details for the landlords but believe I can find it at auckland City council? but they are scum, so I am worried about retaliation if they landlord says who called so am looking to use other agencies.
can I force the landlord to evict them if necessary? I am tempted to go and park in his driveway which is in the same suburb (not sure of exact address) as I can't park in mine!
