handle is hein.gao/gaobadjrw0001 and id is 1 raw text is: THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL OECISION . OF THE UNITED STATES 0' WASHINGTON. 0.C. 20548 FILE: B-202611 DATE: September 1, 1981 MATTER OF: Kaye D. Hollingsworth - Real Estate Expenses - Purchase of Garage Space in Conjunction With Residence DIGEST: A transferred employee entitled to reimbursement of expenses required to be paid by him in con- nection with the purchase of a residence at his new duty station may be reimbursed under para- graph 2-6.1 of the Federal Travel Regulations for expenses incurred separately in obtaining garage parking space in connection with the pur- chase of a condominium, since garage parking was reasonably necessary and since it was obtained in conjunction with the condominium unit. Mr. H. 0. Miller, Accounting and Finance Officer, Defense Logistics Agency, requests an advance decision regarding Mr. Kaye D. Hollingsworth's supplemental claim for real estate purchase expenses in the amount of $153 incurred in obtaining garage space in conjunc- tion with the purchase of a residence incident to transfer of station. Payment of the claim is authorized since the garage parking space was reasonably necessary and obtained in conjunction with his purchase of a condominium unit even though it was purchased separately. Mr. Kaye D. Hollingsworth was transferred from Atlanta, Georgia, to Alexandria, Virginia. He has been reimbursed relocation expenses, including real estate expenses incurred for the purchase of his new residence, a condominium unit. His original voucher included a statement that an additional claim would be submitted for reim- bursement of expenses to be incurred in the purchase of parking space in the condominium's garage. He has now submitted a supple- mental voucher for these expenses. Mr. Hollingsworth states in support of his claim that while the initial sales of condominium units in his building were made without garage spaces, new owners were given an option to obtain such space by a separate purchase. Since the original owners from whom he purchased his unit did not obtain garage space at the time they acquired the property, it was necessary for him to purchase garage space separately. While he was not required to make the purchase, he contends that the limited parking space on the grounds at times would have left him with only an alternative of dangerous and illegal curb side parking in the street. 2L J/i
