It\u2019s typical for retail leases to vary per tenant. \n\nRetail leases can (and usually do) have clauses specifying parking . . . like the landlord is required to ensure a specific number of parking spaces are available for their customers or they can designate a certain number of parking spots in front of their business. \n\nRetail leases can also include some **unbelievably funky stipulations**. Ice cream flavor limitations has to be the silliest stipulation I\u2019ve seen in a retail lease, as in the tenant wanted to ensure no other tenant would sell/serve ice cream of the following five flavors: mint chocolate chip, rocky road, pistachio, cookie dough, or strawberry. Seriously? Rocky road flavor ice cream is *that important*?!?", "replies": [{"id": "g2y6ztn", "text": "Make sense.

Your ability to park your trucks there depends on what those easements say.  If it says the landlord has to maintain  20 spots available for general public use and your trucks are taking up 5 of those spots, they may have a point.   If it just says they are allowed to cross over onto your site and customers can park there, they can go pound sand.  Based on your description and your landlord's response, it sounds like these are just whiny neighbors, but its worth taking a look at the easements.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}]
