I am just back from a international business trip for which I was away for the last 6 weeks. While I was gone, my vehicle registration was about to expire so I renewed it online but did not get a chance to replace the sticker on my vehicle before I left. My lease agreement with the apartment management states that the vehicle can be towed due to expired license plates after a 10 day notice. My vehicle was towed for this reason and the notice provided was a sticker that was placed on my vehicle. As the vehicle was not being used during that period of time, nobody noticed it to take appropriate action. If the apartment management would have give me a proper notice like send me an email or call me or send a notice to my apartment, something they do for every other issue, I would have had my roommate replace the sticker and take care of the problem. Also, I am not sure whether the towing companies can run license plates to see whether they have been renewed, or whether they are supposed to before towing a vehicle for expired license sticker. I ended up paying a ridiculous towing and storage bill to get my vehicle back on my return to the country.
Can I sue the apartment management or the towing company for this?
