    If the tenancy agreement allows parking to the extent that it can be used as dealership vehicle storage, what’s the scam?

      Because they aren’t using it for an actual dealer they just pay whatever small lease price to store cars. Normally if they leased a space big enough for all the cars and a functioning dealership they would spend significantly more.

      So the scam is getting a favorable lease from a very in need landlord hoping to drive foot traffic only to actually have no one go there ever while your cars rot in the sun.
