Swag Advice: Dealing with Unwanted Cars on Your Property
Hey there, buddy! Let's talk about what to do when parked vehicles without license plates or permits have taken up residence on your common property, and your property management isn't stepping up. We've got your back on this one!
First off, we'll call it like it is: it's a pain in the butt. But don't worry, we've got a plan.
The Lowdown
This situation is a no-go, and you don't have to just sit back and take it. Here's what you need to do:
- Claim Your Territory: Make sure you've got the right to take charge on this issue. If you're the property owner or have association rules on your side, you're good to go. Check out any local laws regarding unattended or unauthorized vehicles as well.
- Spy Game: Try to figure out who the owner is. If there's a visible VIN but no plates, you can use that to find the owner through the cops or vehicle registration offices. Keep records of your efforts to ID and contact the owner.
- Give 'Em the Boot: In most places, you'll have to give the owner a heads-up before taking action. This might involve posting notices on the vehicle or publishing in the local rag if the owner's a ghost. Most jurisdictions demand a specified time (usually a couple days to a month) for the owner to get rid of the vehicle.
- Tow 'Em Away: If the owner's not playing ball, you've got a few options. You can call the cops, who might judge the vehicle to be abandoned and arrange removal. If local laws allow, you could also hire a towing company to boot the car away. Keep in mind, some places will only let you hire a tower if there's an imminent danger (such as blocking access), so proceed with caution.
- Sort Out Deliveries: If deliveries are affected, notify those delivery companies and suggest alternative drop-off points. You might also want to put up clear signs, cones, or barriers to prevent further parking shenanigans.
Parting Words
Remember, each area has its own laws regarding abandoned vehicles, so consult a local attorney to ensure you're compliant and avoiding unnecessary liability. And keep those records clean: thorough documentation can help you out later on. Happy homes, y'all!
