Too many vehicles

For a multifamily building with limited parking spaces, how do you allocate parking spaces?

I have a fourplex with six spaces, all 1/1s, so I limit 1 space per unit with two guests.  Thinking if necessary I can allocate two spaces for a couple if necessary.

Well, I have an applicant who works for the city's public works and has two vehicles, one personal and a city truck.  He is apparently allowed to drive it home at night.  So that's two vehicles.  Then he said his girl friend might move in one day and she also works fir the same department with two vehicles.  That is 4 vehicles!

First of all his GF would have to be screened, that aside, the possibility of needing 4 spaces is going to be an big issue.

Do you have a clause in your lease with a parking space limit?  He said he can work out the parking space issues amongst the other tenants when the time comes, but I think by then it would be too late.  Thoughts?

There is no street parking.
