especially if you own a car. Street parking is
neither easy to find nor is safe to park your car
on the streets. So when looking for an apartment

parking garage or not. Most landlords provide
each tenant with one allocated parking spot but
some can offer an additional parking spot for
added charge in case you have more than one
vehicle.
