I agree, OP needs to visit the manager and show them that he has a lease for the garage for $100 a month and if they aren't going to enforce it, that he'll be reducing his payment. And of course document every conversation with an email/letter.
No, it’s not valid after it expires under another landlord.

I'm not even sure how I can value a garage that isn't attached to the property that gets taken away by the landlord.

OP, do you not have a garage of your own? I was under the impression from your explanation that you were effectively renting 2 garages. The first attached to your property, the 2nd, not attached which is what is in question.

Again OP. You need to provide more info. Maybe you can screenshot a satellite image of the property and draw out all the pertinent info in paint.

OK. I have a handle of the situation. I'm going to restate the important parts and omit all the nonsense you added to it.

1. You live in an apartment.

2. During your tenancy, you were offered a detached garage by management.

3. When management changed hands, they took away a detached garage away from you, without letting you know and gave access to the garage to another tenant while you were away.

4. You are asking what your options are now.

Response: You have a lease from the previous management, yes? That is a valid contract. Does it have language on the term length? Just because management has changed, doesn't mean they get to void the contract at their whim. They must honor that contract till it's end. If there is no term limit, they need to follow California law and give you notice that they are terminating the lease. Look to California tenant/landlord law on what those rules are for giving notification. Your options at this point? Probably not more than what California forces both parties on the minimum amount of time you must give notification for, minimum 30 days at most 60 days.

If you had 6 months remaining on the lease of the garage, you can sue for the cost of renting another garage. For example, if there are no other garages for rent in that community, you would have to locate another apartment with garage. Let's say this hypothetical apartment is $300 more than your current one. Your damages are $200*6 months = $1200.

OP could also sue landlord for expedited relief if they failed to give proper notice. Then once that is worked out, sue for damages.

The terms of the lease remain in force until they're changed. If you have something in writing saying that for $100 a month, you get the garage, you get the garage, until the LL notifies you otherwise.
