Advice Needed - Parking ticket from private parking company

Cranberry_82

I live in flats and parked in my assigned bay in the residents garage, but my parking permit fell off. I received a PCN from a private parking company who act on the behalf of the Building Residents Association for failing to display my permit. They are not enforcing any penalty to/from my landlord. I’ve appealed but they have now referred me to appeal via POPLA. My tenancy agreement states that I can use the premises which includes ‘any part of the premise and curtilage of the same, together with the garden, garage and parking space’. 

Shall I appeal to Popla? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Yes. Also search for other threads about "primacy of contract"

Yes, supply that tenancy agreement as evidence. Does it say you have exclusive rights?

No, it doesn't say I have exclusive rights but states that the premises includes garage and parking space.

What it doesn't say is equally important. Does it or doesn't it say you must show a valid permit?

Nope, doesn't mention anything about displaying a permit.

I contacted my local MP and they wrote to the PPC on my behalf and both PCN's have now been cancelled.

Good stuff. That was fast work by your MP.
