Yes, your condo association can do this—assuming it didn’t act unilaterally. Most condo associations, acting on behalf of a building’s owners, can decide how their jointly owned common spaces are used. The rules should be spelled out in the association’s governing documents. If you stored your bike in a parking space that you purchased, that could complicate the matter. But if owners were parking their bikes in a shared parking garage, it sounds like your condo association did due diligence by posting a deadline and offering an alternative bike-storage space. Sure, it charged a fee for the new space, but that may help pay for the room’s maintenance. If you want to help decide how your building handles bike storage, you can always run for a board position. But in the meantime, parking your bike in your condo doesn’t sound too bad. I’d recommend buying an inexpensive wall mount.

Our Readers Say
most parking garages have slots that have blind corners unusuable to a car, where,
the loss of 2 slots could provide rack space for many many bikes.
it seems like a lack of problem solving is the issue, or you have a condo board full of
bike hating, dog park despising, yuppie bashers.
if so, run for the board, and start running your own tyranny.
convert half the garage to a dog park and paint bike lanes in the driveways :-)
