Does the HOA have to provide each unit with a parking space?


Question:

condo unit parking space not owned 052814 resized 600

 

I bought a 32 unit non-stock apartment cooperative condo 4 years ago. For 4 years now, I have been parking in a parking space the previous owner gave to me. Now I want to sell my condo unit and the previous owner called my realtor and said he is just "leasing" the parking space to me. I was in shock of course because we never had a lease agreement or spoke about me leasing/borrowing/renting a parking space. I never would have bought it had I known it didn't come with parking. The parking space is on the previous owners deed and not mine. The previous owner never told me it needed to be deeded over and he was still the owner.

I think this would fall under fraud or non-disclosure, correct? Also, there are only 28 parking spaces and 32 units so there are not enough spaces for everyone. Why would a developer make units with no parking? Does the HOA have to provide each unit with a parking space? I hear that is a California law now. Can the HOA be forced to create new spaces for unit owners with no parking? Thanks
