    What a lease/AST doesn't say is just as important as what it does say. If there is no mention of a permit, PCNs, paying a third party scammer, or court, then there is no contract to display a permit therefore no contract can have been breached by not displaying one. 
    Normally a lease/AST will also say something like the tenant having the rights to quiet enjoyment of the property.

    If the landowner won't help, then I ask you again, when are you moving? I am serious. Living somewhere that is infested by a third party parking scammer will seriously damage your wealth and mental health.

    Section 37 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1987 may be in force here. It says that there has to be a ballot of all concerned, including the landowner, a 75% majority in favour of the change, and no more than 10% object, before material changes can be made to a tenant's rights.

    Thanks. I will see which of those statements are applicable to paragraphs I am able to directly quote from me lease..
    I completely agree however I'm not currently in a position to move away from an oppressive leasehold let alone to somewhere with a driveway or garage. Otherwise I'd just have the same issues with council permits, which along with their PCNs are more expensive.

    Would you suggest mentioning the lack of reference to permits in the lease in the original appeal? All I have now really is the fact that they have intentionally obfuscated the permit in their photographs which they have now uploaded.

    You of course have more than that, in any actual defence that would come later.

    Yes. Shall I just appeal directly on the obvious grounds of actually displaying a permit in the first instance then?

    It's quite clear they intentionally omitted to photograph it but I'm not sure whether it's appropriate to mention that misconduct at this stage.

    Of course. It means they either explain themselves now, or look really evasive later. 
    State unequivocally that you do not accept there is a requirement to display a permit, you did so only out of courtesy. This permit was displayed at the centre of the windscreen, and you notice their "operative" has chosen not to takea  photo of this area
    state you require this is cancelled, as they had no reasonable cause to obtain your data and, should they continue, you are taking a note of your costs incurred which you will be claiming from them on the indemnity basis. This is their only warning.

    I would aslo instruct the MA to cease and desist "monitoring" of your space. They had no authority, granted by your lease, to remove your right to park without dispolaying a permit, there was no variation to the lease granted under the LTA1987 and as such they are currently tortiously interfering with your lease and ruining your peaceable enjoyment of your property. SHould they continue to harass you via their Agents GIVE NAME OF PPC or any future PPC they choose to appoint, you will have no option but to obtain an injunction against them, at the MAs eventual cost, as well as damages for the above mentioned breach of lease and breach of the DPA2018. Give them 14 days to confirm they have done so.

    Is the latter part still applicable as currently only a notice stuck to my windscreen?

    Follow nosferatu's advice, but do also make the complaints previously advised.

    If there is only a windscreen ticket then no, they have not yet obtained your data.

    What do we all reckon on requesting the contract between them and MA too?
