shared driveway

I live in a single family and am now sharing our driveway with a 2 family. When we purchased the property the now 2 family was zoned a single family residence. Recently the town allowed the owner to zone the property as a 2 family and there are 7 or so cars at the 2 family residence. Our maintenence agreement doesn't cover 2 family maintenance responsibility. Am I still responsible for 1/2 the maintence or is it now 1/3 2/3? Was it legal for our town to change the zoning without considering the shared drive?

If the seven cars are parking on your half of the driveway, then you should be collecting some of the rent in exchange for paying half the maintenance.

If you are half owner of the driveway, then you might have legal standing to have cars improperly parked on your half towed away.

Suggest you get your attorney's advice on your rights, responsibilities, and options.
