I have a deeded parking space in a 2 car garage attached to a townhome. The townhome owner own's the garage.

On my condo deed the space is listed as part of my property. He is upset about me parking in this space, and has charged me overtime rates for repairs he's done, and has said that a fuse keeps blowing which has locked my car in the garage and out of it. I asked the association for help, and they have said I need to seek legal assistance. That he is legally not allowed to deny my access to the garage, but no one can enforce this. Since this ordeal, my car has also been keyed, and he has given me rules to follow when parking in the garage, and asked for a copy of my car insurance. He also said he is the only one allowed to do repairs and I have to pay him at his rate. I can't confirm that the fuse is broken because I can't have anyone repair it, and now I am parking on the street.
Why not follow the association that said you need to seek legal assistance?

No one can know what the record is in the case because online we cannot find out any details. Check with a lawyer in your locale to discuss more of the details.
Good luck to you.
God bless. Best of luck to you.

This is too confusing. You need legal help because there are niceties here that you clearly don't explain clearly. One can own a condo unit that is a parking space, but also many "deeded" spaces are merely easements to a common element. In addition, if the fuse box serves more than one unit, even if it operates only one garage door, it too may be a limited common element, over which the association may in fact have some control. If you want an attorney to be involved, and because it is a condo, expect fees to be representative of the fact that the attorney will probably have to review the entire condominium declaration, bylaws and rules, condo survey and your deed(s). The attorney who should know most of this would be the one who represented you at closing. The only additional factor of complication may be the fact that this is an older building (new buildings don't have fuse boxes and rarely have condo unit parking spaces located in larger areas controlled by only one other condo owner: why are repairs needed and why is the fuse blowing?
