As for the landlord, with the economy the way it is and them sitting on 15 or so houses, they rent to any tom, dick, or harry with a pulse - mostly section 8. Others in the neighborhood have already complained about the tenants parking habits to no avail.
Sometimes I think about just buying the property from the current owner and renting to who I want to rent.... But I don't want the extra PITA.
I swear, the worst thing in property owner life is to buy a property you like, and then have someone come along after you and buy next door as a rental.

Well, at least there's an end in sight - 4 mths isn't too bad, as annoying as it is right now.
Have a frank talk with the landlord before they get new tenants, always worth having another neighbour or two with you to substantiate your story. Most landlords won't want the extra hassle of neighbours complaining so will try and appease.
BTW, the down economy means that it's a great rental market for landlords at least around here - and only getting better with the continued housing market uncertainty, and interest rate jumps around the corner. There are more people renting than ever and it means that the owner can/should be picky.
