Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.

(a)  
Dismissal of previous independent registered public accounting firm:

On April 29, 2018, The Parking REIT, Inc. (the "Company") dismissed RSM US LLP, ("RSM") as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.  The dismissal of RSM was approved by a majority of the members of the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors.

RSM was engaged to audit the Company's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, however, the audit was not completed, and no audit report was ever issued by RSM to the Company.  During the term of RSM's engagement, there were: (i) no disagreement between the Company and RSM on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement, if not resolved to RSM's satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report, and (ii) no reportable events (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

The Company has provided RSM a copy of the disclosures in this Form 8-K and has requested that RSM furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not RSM agrees with the Company's statements in this Item 4.01(a).  A copy of the letter dated May 3, 2018, furnished by RSM in response to that request is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.

(b)  
Engagement of new independent registered public accounting firm:

On April 30, 2018, the Company re-engaged RBSM LLP ("RBSM"), the Company's prior independent registered public accounting firm, effective immediately.  RBSM previously served as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm until the Company's dismissal of RBSM on May 19, 2017.  On May 24, 2017, the Company filed a Form 8-K disclosing its dismissal of RBSM.  During the Company's prior engagement of RBSM, RBSM reported on the Company's financial statements for the period from May 4, 2015 (date of inception) through December 31, 2015 and for the year ended December 31, 2016.
