A:
If a renter gave you permission to park your vehicle on the property, they generally cannot have it towed without proper notice or justification. The situation might change if there were specific terms or conditions attached to that permission, or if the property rules or lease agreements allow for such actions.
After an argument, it's possible the renter acted out of frustration, but they still need to follow legal procedures. Typically, a landlord or renter must provide notice before towing a vehicle, especially if it was previously permitted to be there. Local laws and regulations will also play a crucial role in determining if the towing was lawful.
If your vehicle was towed within 24 hours of an argument, you may have grounds to contest it. You should check the local laws regarding towing and parking, and review any written agreements or communications you had with the renter. Consulting with local tenant rights organizations or seeking legal advice can help you understand your rights and the next steps to take.
