Marina, a resident of a new building in Ķengarags, Riga, purchased an apartment and a parking space about a year ago. Despite the area being gated and parking only permitted with special permits, there are frequent instances of unauthorized vehicles occupying personal parking spots, as reported by the show "Degpunktā." The residents suspect that neighbors from adjoining buildings are allowing their friends to use the parking spaces, exacerbating the situation.

The property manager, "Selectum home," has not engaged in resolving the situation and has categorically refused to explain to the broadcasting program why they are unresponsive to residents' concerns. Residents report being unable to park their cars when returning home, as available spaces are often occupied by other vehicles. Communication through a residents' chat has proven ineffective, and despite attempts to involve the police, their intervention has not resolved the issue, leaving residents feeling frustrated and abandoned.

This ongoing struggle highlights the challenges of urban living in Riga, where designated parking can become a source of conflict among residents. The lack of support from property management and inadequate law enforcement responses raise questions about tenant rights and the management of residential facilities, affecting the quality of life for those living in the new development.
