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 ?
