My building has a 'future resident parking' that is to be used my leasing office from 9 to 6 am. They allow residents guests to use it post 6 pm. I asked my guest to park in the spot on Friday evening around 6 pm. When we came to get it Saturday morning it wasn't there.
when we reached out to management they said it was towed last night because we parked at 5:55pm. We went to collect the car and towing company document says noticed at 6:28 pm and towed at 6:41 pm. Reason :No parking after 6 pm.
Questions:
1. Was the management right to get the car towed for parking it 5 mins early? There are two spots and the next one was empty. They wouldn't have scheduled a tour just 10 mins before closing office. I think it didn't cause anyone inconvenience (other than us by getting towed. I sent them an email saying its a community they could have given 5 min consideration on human grounds.
2. the reason towing company has on the records is incorrect
3. can I sue either management or towing company for my claim? If yes, what is the process.
I am really upset at how these building management behave after living in the building for 3 years. They are just making money at the expense of others.
Note: I live in San jose downtown.
