Asked on Oct 10th, 2012 on General Practice - New York
More details to this question:
I've recently retired and travel between 2 states. In NY i am the only shareholder of coop apartment, in Florida I rent a room in my son's house and have obtained a driver license and registered my car there. The management say that now I am not eligible for the parking spot in NY, they say I need to get the NY driver license back to keep the parking space I have for years.

This may be a land grab- you should review your lease agreement and the coop bylaws. You should also ask management for where this 'policy' is written or memorialized. The answer here will depend on what a review of these documents shows. From this writer's vantage point, it is unclear how a NY driver's license would prove entitlement to a parking space. Additionally, if you have been using this space for years, it would be difficult for the coop to arbitrarily change the policy. You should consider consulting with counsel.
