Flat parking replacement garage fob

Buy a cheap fob from ebay. Programme it from one of your neighbours fobs. Will only cost a few pounds.

A decent access control system will spot that immediately. Every fob would transmit it's own unique ID.

Assuming the fob has to be used on one receiver to enter the car park, and on another receiver to exit the car park...

... the system would quickly detect that 2 cars have entered the car park using the same fob ID.

What does your contract with them say about this, please?  Can't read it from here.

I'll leave the OP to give the definitive answer... but my guess would be...

The 'contract' is probably the OP's lease.

The lease will probably just say something generic, like the freeholder/management company must manage the car park.

The lease is unlikely to mention key fobs, and will almost certainly not mention a price for replacing them.

Because leases typically last for between 150 and 999 years. The person drafting the lease would probably have realised that in 50 years, or 100 years or 900 years the concept of key fobs to access a car park would be ancient history. So it wouldn't make sense to mention them.

And similarly, the lease is very unlikely to quote a replacement fee like £500 - because in 100 years or 900 years that might equate to 14p in today's money. 


But maybe the OP can confirm or refute.
