    Default Car Towed from My Apartment

    My question involves towing laws for the State of: Maryland

    Hi
    This afternoon I came out of my apartment to run out and noticed that my second car was not there. I live with my girlfriend and we have two cars together.

    I contacted my leasing office and they gave me the number for the tow company to confirm if my car was towed (i thought it was stolen) The towing company then told me that my car infact towed.

    Their reason : Abandonment

    WHAT???

    Apparently the management struck up this deal with the towing company on a new set of rules that designate an abandoned vehicle. Get this...not moved in 48 hours... WHAT??

    Anyway yes that's their new rule but they apparently were supposed to issue the addendum to the lease to all the tenants, which they have not done at all. So our car was wrongfully towed and when I call the leasing office and the towing company, no one is assisting me, unless of course I pony up 228 dollars to retrieve the car, at which point i can file a complaint.

    My car was towed at 3:00 AM on 08/23/2008

    Shell out the bucks to get your car back, file a complaint, and take the towing company (or your apartment management) to small claims court to recover the fees.

    If this was in Baltimore City or Baltimore County, there are statutes describing when towing can occur from a private parking lot. Maryland Code, Transportation, Title 21, Sec. 10A. (The Maryland Code is available here). Otherwise you need to check your local ordinances for the details of when and how towing may occur.
