    Question Visitor Parking Towing

    My question involves towing laws for the State of: Illinois

    I parked my vehicle in a private apartment complex visitors parking spot. I come back to find that my car had been towed. The reason being that after 9 pm, all visitors must have a visitors parking pass displayed in their vehicles if they are to park in a visitors spot. I was not aware of this, nor was the resident I was visiting. There was a sign that said visitors parking, but, there was no additional signs saying that visitors needed a parking pass after a certain hour. Let's take into consideration this was my first offense ever. I paid $150 and retrieved my car.

    Does the association have any legal obligation to post that kind of sign? And, if so, should they reimburse my fees?

    The resident you were visiting should be aware of the terms of his lease agreement.

    Towing and towing signage laws vary by locality. What city are you in?

    [QUOTE=LawResearcherMissy;214263]The resident you were visiting should be aware of the terms of his lease agreement.

    If the sign says "visitor parking" with no time indicated, it appears that cgosi03 is in compliance with the sign, and the tow is illegal. Why should the lease be legally relevant to cgosi03, who is not a party to the lease. Are you suggesting that the resident has a legally enforceable responsibility to his visitors?
