Why Condominium Boards Are Turning to Parking Enforcement Officers

The Problem With Self-Enforcement

Parking disputes are among the most common — and most contentious — issues in condominium communities. Asking property managers or board members to handle them creates personal conflict, inconsistent enforcement, and significant liability exposure.

Professional parking enforcement officers apply rules uniformly, without personal relationships or pressure, keeping the board and management at arm's length from difficult situations.

Common Issues PEOs Resolve

• Unauthorized vehicles in resident or visitor parking spots
• Fire route and accessible parking violations
• Vehicles without valid permits or stickers
• Abandoned or inoperable vehicles on property
• Overnight or long-term parking by non-residents
• Delivery vehicles blocking access lanes

What Parking Enforcement Officers Can Do

Under Ontario's Trespass to Property Act, property owners and authorized agents can issue notices and arrange removal of unauthorized vehicles from private property. ApexGuard's parking enforcement officers are trained on the legal framework, documentation requirements, and tow-away procedures.

We work with authorized towing companies and provide full incident documentation to property management after every enforcement action.

Resident Communication

Effective enforcement isn't just about issuing notices — it's about clear communication. We recommend a formal parking policy notice to all residents before enforcement begins, and visible signage throughout the property to remove ambiguity.

ApexGuard can assist property management with developing a compliant parking policy and resident communication materials as part of our service engagement.
