Avoid having your vehicle towed by complying with the regulations of your rental community as well as the parking ordinances of the city in which you live. Vehicles owned by renters often can become the source of problems when parked illegally or left in an unsightly state of disrepair.
           
Code enforcement officials and property managers are very diligent when it comes to parking violations.  Depending upon the condition and location of your vehicle, it may be towed 24-96 hours after the required warning is posted.  If you see a warning notice, act quickly to avoid expensive towing charges.  
           
It is a good idea to provide your property manager with information about your car, such as its manufacturer, model name and license number.  This will enable your property manager to contact you in case there is a problem regarding your vehicle.  Most apartment communities already require such information. 
           
Be courteous to your neighbors.  When you park your vehicle in a no parking zone or another renter’s space, you probably will cause an inconvenience for someone.  If you leave your inoperable vehicle on jacks with parts lying around, you create a safety hazard and an ugly detraction from the nice surroundings of the neighborhood.  In addition, your inoperable vehicle creates a negative image of your apartment community that may turn away potential good renters and upset your property manager.
