(As an aside, I once signed a lease in San Francisco that was eleven pages thick, small print, and for each clause you could easily imagine the lawsuit that led to its inclusion in the lease terms.)
I have a neighbor who has a cousin who does this. He gets old POS cars and then tries to get them running. It's not a bad hobby, but he does it in the street, and in other people's garage spots (the houses here have a small shared parking lot.) This is specifically called out as no-no in the lease. So when this dumbass tries to fix a car in my parking spot, I can call property management, and they can go talk to the guy and get him to understand that he has to move his POS lemon car right now or there's going to be a tow truck there in about twenty minutes.
That's why laws like this exist: one dumbass ruining things for everybody.
