My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Texas
Hello All,
So my situation, I had my car parked in my spot at my apartment complex. It's the car that's on the lease, and they know it's my car because they've called me to ask me to move it several times before, not for an infringement, but because they needed to paint the fence, clean the sidewalk etc. I've been doing a lot of traveling for work, and I've been staying with my parents across town for convenience. Most recently I'd been in Denver for 3 weeks. When I got back to my apartment complex, the car wasn't there. The state registration sticker had expired while I was gone, of that I'm aware they have some "right" to tow my vehicle without giving me notice. However, the impound lot is supposed to send me written notification, this is what they told me, not an assumption. I informed them that I never got any form of notification. They proceeded to tell me that they'd sent a letter to XXX address. It happens to be my old address, where my previous apartment was located. I had only lived at XXX apartment for 3 months, and have been living at my current apartment for the past year. I had never changed my address to XXX, since I knew I'd be there for the short term, in fact the only people to have that address was the new apartment complex I'm living at. I asked the manager of the impound lot and they informed me that that was the information given to them by my current apartment complex. Also, the address on my title, VIN, and license all match my current address. So my car had been sitting in this impound lot for over 3 weeks, and it ran a bill of over 1000 dollars. It wouldn't have sat in the impound lot for that long, had I gotten the notification that was due. The reason for me not receiving the notification was the apartment complex giving inaccurate information to the towing company.

And I mean c'mon...They KNOW where I live. Do I have a case in small claims?

Thank you very much for your time, I know it was a long read.
