Landlord towed my vehicle

[Krshoals]

I received a warning ticket on my car last week because my car was on jack stands, the ticket stated that it was improperly parked. I fixed the issue. The plates were not on the car, so a week later I receive another ticket stating that it would be towed in 24 hours because there were no plates. I guess in the haste of me trying to put the tags back on the car I put the wrong plates on the car and they towed the car two days later without warning too me. I didnt receive a warning in regards to them towing the vehicle because the wrong plates were on the vehicle. When I talked to the manager of the apartment she said that they towed the car due to the fact that in my lease it states that they require that the plates that are on tenants vehicles should be those registered to the vehicle. I have read my lease, through and through, and nowhere in the lease does it state that the apartment has the right to tow my vehicle due to improper parking, no plates on the car, or the wrong plates that I can comprehend at the moment. And it was never stated to me verbally or in a written form that this would happen. My question is there anything that I should do or could due because my car might have suspension damage from the towing company dragging my car from the back wheels and this all could have been avoided if they would have given me a warning stating that the wrong plates were on the car like they didi before and I could have corrected the problem and not have to pay a $200 tow fee and $25 a day storage fee.

You received 2 warnings about that the car. You knew they were looking at the car. You failed to make sure the car was properly parked and licensed. The car was towed as a result. A car should always have proper tags unless it is parked in your own yard. It didn't and was towed. You owe the towing and storage fees.

Yes, my fiancee received the two warnings items that he fixed and the car was towed for a reason that he did not receive a warning for. And no, I wasn't aware that they pin pointed one vehicle on an apartment lot where the employers and other tenants have tickets on cars that have yet to be touched. And the manager said that the car was towed because it is said in our lease to do so, and it is NOT in our lease at all. And then she lies that there were two different plates on the car when it wasn't. Although the we have the car back and he has placed the correct tags on the car. I'm just a little livid that it was towed without warning when she, the apartment manager, says that we were entitled one yet we never got one for the reason that was given to me over the phone by the person who authorized the tow. So when I'm lied to about why it was towed, and there's nothing in my lease, and the ticket itself isnt even readable yes I'm upset and I believe that there should be something done differently i'm not asking for money but some kind of disciplinary action seeing that I pay my rent every month ON TIME, and still get accused of not doing that when the date is clearly on the money order.

Sorry, but you DID receive a warning. You were told to put proper plates on the car - to make sure it was registered. That ticket didn't mean to put just any plates on the car! You put the wrong plates on the car. The car still wasn't licensed. And it was towed accordingly. The same thing would have happened had it been parked on the street with bad tags (except that you wouldn't have gotten a warning ticket first!).

This is obviously a rule for the complex you live in just as it would be on the street. Go to the office and ask to see the written rules for the complex. No doubt you were shown these at lease signing or told they were posted in the office.

Bottom line, you got a warning, didn't cure it properly, and the car was towed as a result. Your fault, no one else's. There is no disciplinary action to be taken.
