Spaces and households
In production
Spaces belong to the apartment, not the person. That makes the allocation simple to explain — and to hold when people move.
Allocating parking spaces is the decision that causes the most argument in a housing association. Min Beboer Parkering is built on spaces belonging to apartments: each apartment has a quota of active resident permits shared by the users linked to that address. The default is two per apartment, and the local administrator can raise it where that makes sense. On moving out or moving within the association, permits follow the apartment, not the person.
"Two spaces per apartment" can be said at an annual meeting and understood by everyone. An allocation by seniority, by who signed up first, or by who needs it most requires an explanation every time someone moves in.
The default applies to everyone, but individual apartments can have a different limit — a ground-floor commercial unit, say, or an apartment with a purchased extra space. The exception lives in the system instead of in minutes from 2019.
A household can have several users with access to the same apartment. Both adults can edit plates and invite visitors, and there is no longer one person at home on whom all parking depends.
New users request to be linked to an apartment, and the local administrator approves. That is the one place a decision has to be made — residents handle the rest themselves.
A move request transfers a user to a new apartment once the administrator approves. Permits come along in the same step, so no old plates are left on an address people left long ago.
The association's addresses and apartments go in during setup, together with the parking spaces the site has. That register is what everything else hangs on.
You decide how many active resident permits an apartment may hold. Two is the default; the quota can be set differently in general or for the individual apartments where there is an agreement.
Residents sign up and request access to their address, and the local administrator approves. After that the household manages its own permits within the quota.
Move-ins, move-outs, internal moves and changed quotas are handled as they come by the local administrator, so the register matches who actually lives there.
To the apartment. Each apartment has a shared limit on active resident permits, and the users linked to the address manage them on the apartment's behalf. That is also why permits do not follow a resident who moves out.
Yes. Two is the default because it fits most, but the local administrator can set a higher limit — either for the whole association or for the apartments where there is a specific agreement.
Any user linked to the apartment can see and adjust the permits attached to it. The quota itself — how many may be active at once — can only be changed by the local administrator.
The user or the local administrator creates a move request to the new apartment or address. The administrator approves and the move takes effect. The user is not recreated, and the old address is not left holding active permits.
With time-limited service permits that require an end time. They do not count against the apartment's quota, precisely because a kitchen job would otherwise occupy the household's own spaces for three weeks.
