    446? are you serious?  that can't be real.  Those are horrible

    That’s what I thought too. I think next year I’ll just buy them in the aftermarket. More for my money. I haven’t been part of the foundation for long so that might have influenced, but if they end up putting most members in those zones that are basically blanked out in reselling sites it would be pretty messed up. What is the point there.

    Hate to say this, but txtow knew his sign statute. Was all of that bs?

    The gist was that tx law changed written requirements for parking lot warning signs and no tow companies/property owners updated their signs. He claimed slam dunk treble damages for anyone with an afternoon to spare in court.

    OP, why don't you post picture of the towing notice sign posted at the lot?

    Thats the sign at the entrance, and after some research, it does appear to violate the Texas standard.

    This is an interesting take, I'll research the law and measure the sign... its a long shot but might work.

    This is very bad advice from the usually-reliable Huck.  Don't do this, they will be able to evict you, which will fuck you up big time. If they don't make it right, file a tow hearing with Judge Cercone, JP in that area. Send me a PM if you end up having to do that.

    Thank you, I hope it doesn't get there, but I appreciate your willingness for help!

    Hopefully you complex will make it right, but I wouldn't hold my breath.  It's only worth it if you've got nothing to do or the principle is worth your time.  I wouldn't recommend shorting your rent as you will open yourself up to a whole slew of completely separate problems.  Your lease agreement is completely separate from the tow company.

    This is my mentality. I don't know how much its worth the stress, I just hate towing companies. I guess I'll follow the track of "If you don't resolve this, I'll remember when my contract is up." Hopefully that is enough to persuade them. Although if this complex is anything like the ones in West Campus, they will wave me goodbye gladly.

    Get it from your apartment complex. Their procedure and contractor caused the issue. I'd imagine you'll be able to deduct the cost from the following month's rent. Then they can deduct the amount from the contractor's invoice. Your issue isn't with the towing company; it's with your complex. 

    I reached out to them and they said they would contact their account manager, but made no promises and said normally this should be between me and the towing company.

  7. Hello,

    my apartment uses an online registration system to allow visitors to park in the guest parking area. One night, a guest of mine parked in it and I registered them at 9:11pm (I have proof of this, as the online system gives you a confirmation code and stamp). 

    This car got towed. The official invoice from the storage facility says the tow time was 9:38PM, the report of towing the apt complex gets says official tow time was 9:18PM. By these standards, I should be getting a refund for my paying of picking up the car.

     

    However I emailed the company and they said no, and sent pictures taken of the car at 9:10:30PM saying the violation occurred at that time. This would be literally seconds after I went up to the apt while registering it.

    I feel like this is ridiculous, and the guy should have known the car shouldn’t get towed since the registration went through before the two official times reported.

     

    is it worth it to fight it in court? The fine to pick up the car was $170. I know I could probably blow it off, but I hate this kind of predatory towing.
