We rent a lot, but own the home. Now there has been a debate that our landlord does not want the truck parked in our neighborhood. It’s a 2000 model, clean and does not leak fluids onto the roadway and we only park it bobtail and leave the flatbed trailer elsewhere. When parked it does not block or interfere with traffic and we park it at our home.
I just find it strange when there are many homes and yards that are in need of extensive repair within this area as well as many old unused vehicles sitting on other lots. As well as many used-owned beat-up drivable vehicles that are really eye sores, when it comes down to it.
This news came to us second hand from the manager of the lots, not the landlord himself, whom I have never met. Does anyone know the reason why this is an issue? I plan to question them further but wanted some answers here first just to see what others might think about this or would handle the situation?
Moving out right now is not an option.
As long as your rental agreement does not prohibit large trucks, just ignore it.
I’d rather have a nice newer semi truck, (w/o trailer) next door than a house with 2 cars that havent’ moved in months.

It might just be your landlords desires the neighborhood may not care. I do not think the landlord can control what is parked on a public street. I think they both are tacky.

If it is on the street, many cities have laws in the books regarding "commercial" vehicles parked on the street. For instance in CLovis California not only can you not park a commercial vehicle on the street in a residential neighborhood, you can’t park a boat, RV, or a travel trailer where it can be seen from the sidewalk…even if it is IN your driveway.
