Tandem space
A bay that holds two cars one behind the other.
A tandem space is a parking bay deep enough for two vehicles parked nose to tail, so that the inner car cannot leave until the outer one moves. It is common in older buildings and in garages built to a floor area rather than a bay count.
A tandem is normally assigned to one household precisely because of the blocking problem: giving the two halves to two households creates a dependency that neither can resolve without the other. Where it is split, it needs a rule written down in advance about notice and keys, because the alternative is that the rule gets written during an argument.
