    Unhappy Vehicle Towed at Apartment Complex Where I Live Because My Tag is Expired

    State: Florida
    County: Bay
    City: Panama City Beach

    My roommates vehicle was towed at the Apartment Complex where we live. The reason they gave was because his tag was expired. This seems like something that is out of non-police civilian jurisdiction. When we spoke with them about it, we were told that they tow vehicles with expired tags to make sure no one "Abandons the vehicle." It seems to me that this is unjust, should be unlawful, and simply just really messed up. Is there anything from a legal standpoint that we can say or do?

    Only park cars in the lot that have valid license plates.

    Leases often authorize towing of vehicles with expired tags. What does your lease (or community rules applicable to you through the lease) say about towing? What about signs posted in or about the parking lot or entrances to the lot?
