Clamping is dangerous game as it upsets everyone and leaves the OMC liable to legal action and potentially thousands in damages for negligence and vicarious liability for the actions of your clamping contractor.
Thanks for the feedback. Have done the maths and there are 176 bedrooms in 81 units and we have 120 total spaces including the outer bays. I guess we need to start by checking the different lease types to see if 1.5 is universal.
It may be that we have to introduce a permit/clamping combination. We have no gates (council policy is no new gated communities) and the entrance is narrow, and not suitable for erecting a barrier. There may be trouble ahead, I can't see a simple solution. In general the non resident landlords' only concern is getting their rent paid.
See section 113 Road Traffic Act 1961. This also applies to private areas.
It has been tested and the clampers lost.
It was brought in in our development. Landlord (original developer) wasn't paying service charges and brought the OMC and clamping company to court (circuit). I don't think it went to full trial but he ended up paying arrears and costs (judge wouldn't continue temporary injunction preventing clamping).While its not the same as your problem, in our development, it was decided to issue permits to those who had paid their management fees, and any cars that are parked in designated spots without permits are clamped. .
