A man was asked by his apartment manager to give up his parking spot for a disabled woman who needs two spots to park her van with a powered ramp. The man refused to give up his spot, citing his lease agreement. The disabled woman then parked her van next to his spot and called him every morning to move his car so she could park properly. The man eventually had her van towed after it was parked partially in his spot. The woman and apartment manager confronted him, but he refused to compromise. He feels bad about the situation but believes he was within his rights. AITA?

Parking spot dispute escalates with disabled tenant. 🚗💥
A parking dispute has escalated between an apartment manager, a tenant with a disability, and another tenant who is refusing to give up their parking spot. The tenant with the disability requires two parking spots due to her van with a powered ramp, but there are no extra spots available. The tenant who initially agreed to switch spots is now refusing to give up their spot entirely, leading to tension and the blocking of the tenant's parking spot. Despite offers to reduce rent, the tenant is unwilling to compromise, leading to a heated confrontation and the eventual towing of the disabled tenant's van. The situation remains unresolved, with no clear solution in sight. Read on for reactions and comments from the community.
