This article discusses unauthorised parking lot space, explaining why towing is not permitted without an adjudicator’s order and how by-law enforcement should be used instead.
I am in the 144 lot apartment building. A resident or visitor has been parking in my allocated parking space. What can I do? Can we tow the car given that the car is parking in my space for more than 24hours?
You can’t tow the car without an adjudicator’s order.
No, you can’t tow the car without an adjudicator’s order. If you do tow the car then you run the risk of being liable for what happens to it during its impounding.
If you are having problems with people parking in your spot, your body corporate committee should be enforcing its by-laws about parking.
