The tenant began renting a year ago and was provided with a parking spot to be used for the “Lessee’s private passenger vehicle”. The tenant is now allowing her guest to use her parking spot, is she allowed to do this?

It would seem that the lease allows one parking space. Whether or not the tenant has a car, she gets a space, as you mentioned, for her own “Lessee’s private passenger vehicle.” Therefore, according to the lease, she is entitled to a spot. The problem with enforcing this kind of wording in a lease is that you would have to prove that parking another vehicle in that space, her guest or someone else’s car, impacts on your right or enjoyment as a landlord. Or that it impacts the rights or enjoyment of another tenant in the building.
