What actions can I take against someone I share a garage with?
They’re not following the guidelines stated by the landlord about not using the garage as storage. This has resulted in forcing said tenant into parking too close to my car in the garage. I do not want any damage done to my car due to this issue. I have already brought it up to the landlord but no action has been taken. is there anything legally that I can do?

Are you both tenants. If so, there is unfortunately nothing you can do if they are not following the landlord's guidelness--you, as another tenant, cannot enforce those rules. All you can do is let them know that if they do damage your car, you will sue them for the cost to repaint or repair it.
