Someone parking in front of my garage - rights to remove?
3 Answers
Someone regularly parks in front of my garage, which is situated on private land. Notes on the vehicle haven't worked, speaking to the vehicle-owner hasn't worked. Do I have the right to get the car towed if I find it obstructing the garage if I give proper warning, e.g. sign on the garage? I do not own the garage or land. TIA x

Assuming that isn't the case, speak to the person who does own the land - has he given this person permission to park there?
Would you be able to tow the vehicle so that it remains on private property but gives you access to your garage?
If not, where would you get it towed to?
Be aware that interfering with that vehicle would constitute a civil trespass, if he can show you have caused any damage it could be criminal damage.
There is no reason why you can't put a sign up - it may be an effective deterrent.

This sounds as if there's something missing.
"speaking to the vehicle-owner hasn't worked."
Why not? What was his/her response?
Did you make it clear that you would seek to have it removed?
You would have to consult the landowner to discuss your plan to remove the offending vehicle. Perhaps the landowner could bring pressure to bear?
Your problem is that you are a tenant and would not have the right in Law to have it removed.
