    Default Towed at an Apartment Complex in Bethesda, Maryland

    My question involves a consumer law issue in the State of: Maryland

    I need some advice. I live in a 5 building complex with 4 open parking lots which are reserved for residents. Guest parking is available on the street. I parked in one of the accompanying parking lots to my building, with my parking permit in full view. My car was towed between 2-6 am (I had a late night). I confirmed that there were no signs anywhere regarding parking restrictions present anywhere in the entrance of the parking lot (besides the one normally present in the other lots). So naturally I was very shocked when I saw my car was not there in the morning.

    I've been trying to locate towing ordinances for the state of Maryland with no luck. What can I do?

    You appear to be saying that you were authorized to park in the lot and had a parking permit on display. So why were you towed? What did your landlord and the towing company say about why they towed you?

    Maryland has statutes regulating towing in Baltimore and Baltimore County, but outside of those areas you need to check local ordinances. I don't see any ordinances online for Bethesda or Montgomery County.

    As an unincorporated area, Bethesda falls under the scope of the Montgomery County Code. The section you want to take a look at is Chapter 30C (on towing from private property) linked below.
