My Car was towed yesterday from my Appartment parking lot as the sticker on the number plates were expired(registeration was expired).
I know I can get the parking ticket on expired registration, but ticket wont be that much that I had to pay to the towing company. My question is : Is it legal to tow the car for such reason? I was being told my the towing company that they have a contract with our apartment company to tow any vehicle that has expired tags.
The fact is that I had already renewed my registration online and I had got a receipt that makes my current registration valid for 15 days untill I get my new registration stickers via mail. but the towing company said that they are not DMV and doesn't recognize any document like this. Had I been ticketed I could always contest based on the receipt I got.
One more thing , I checked my aprtment welcome guide and it is nowhere mentioned that cars with expired tags are subject to tow.Seek Legal advice--%26gt; Car towed from the appartment parking lot?
Forget the 'welcome guide'. What does the LEASE say? That your legal agreement with the complex.
NOTE: Unless the receipt for renewing on-line was in the car window, the towing company CAN'T know it exists.Seek Legal advice--%26gt; Car towed from the appartment parking lot?
fight that. should be an easy case to win. if it wasnt anywhere in the apartment guidelines then they had no right to tow it. anywhere else you would have gotten a 25$ ticket, not a tow
