I take care of my mother and have a permit for my car. also i found out they have to have BY LAW a certain number of handicapped spaces per parking space/ or tenant. my building only has 1 handicapped space, but the 2 of us who live there also have 1 regular space and a garaged space so we actually have plenty even without the handicapped space.

also i work in a hotel and was told by a guest that it is illigal for us to charge him our valet fee to park onsite so I would really look into what your building is doing they may actually be breaking the law. Some apt managers try to make tenants pay for the trouble they have to go through to abide by handicap laws as they dont like to have to be up to code if noone knows that they are not.
