You can actually argue this one. Regardless whether or not the agreement was verbal or written. You were told as part of your lease you could. Also I would argue the fact that your access to your apartment is a liability if the SUV is parked there. If something were to happen, you could sue the property owner, and the son for the vehicle hindering access to the property, that you have 'interest' in, for renting, especially for 10 years!!! They should provide adequate common area that is clear of debri, and safe for you to enter the premise with out fear of injury.
 
when I moved in 10 yrs ago it was verbally agreed that I use the driveway that led to the small house beside the big house since it ended at the front door. Now the landlord (who is elderly and senile) son told me he wants to use the driveway and parked his SUV in the way. I cannot hardly walk around it without stepping in a ditch. There is a bank on one side and bushes on the other of the narrow driveway. Dont I have right to reasonable access?
