A: If your car was towed due to the absence of a parking pass that you were not provided with, it's important to address this issue directly with your property management. Document your communications and ensure that you have written evidence of your attempts to resolve the issue, such as emails or texts requesting the parking pass.

Regarding the towing fee, you might want to ask the property management to reimburse you, especially if it was their responsibility to provide the parking pass. However, keep in mind that the outcome may vary based on the specific terms of your lease agreement and local laws. If communication doesn't lead to a satisfactory resolution, you could consider seeking legal advice to understand your rights and options.

Dealing with mold is a separate issue that also requires attention. Mold can pose health risks and should be addressed promptly. Inform your property management in writing and request an urgent inspection and remediation. If the problem persists and affects your living conditions, seeking legal advice could help you understand your options for ensuring a safe living environment.
