I live in a rental community. When you rent an Apartment at Carib Villas Apts in Cutler Bay, Florida, managed by , GFI Management that runs Carib Villas, does not require you to give details as to what vehicles you own, least! do they give you decals or tags for parking. Another words! it is a private property owned by: A & M Florida Properties, L.L.C. located in New York. recently one of our cars was towed by the towing Co., they use, due to expired tag. had expired by only! 3 or 4 days.. at Carib Villas Apts they never! regardless! wether you are a tennant, give a warning sticker that vehicle will be towed. I have seen that in almost all rental communities that I have lived in before, thats what they do first, before! your car gets towed, at least! give you a chance to take care of the problem. here lease agreement says, and I understand that part of the lease agreement as to having vehicles with expired tags, parked wrong, etc. anyone! can park here where we live, its private! and also the office staff must sign before a car gets towed. then they so easily tell you they are not only sorry! but that if they would have known it was your car, they would have not towed it, or give you time to take care of tag. how in the hell! would they no! when they dont even require it at time of filling out your lease. does anyone! no! about warnings in a private rental community in the state of florida, If! a management company can have a tennants vehicles towed with out any notice??? what so ever! least to say! I have been told, they make 30.00 dollars for every car towed. is that legal also???? it is a private property. even tho! its a rental community. Thanks, Victor and Hector ,..........I was reading on the net, that there are some laws in some states, as to this matter. like giving a warning, then if you dont comply, they then have the right to tow your car away. its a 96 hour thing I believe.

If the car has violated certain rules that subject it to being towed, then it can legally be towed and the owner of the car will have to deal with the violation of the parking rules. A separtate issue is whether or not you have a claim against the rental office for what you described - i.e. if the office has unfairly "discriminated" against some members of the rental community by administering the rules about parking/towing in a non-uniform way. You can certainly try to speak to an attorney regarding what legal options you may have against the office with regard to uniform application of their rules and policies. You can find one through the locator service on LawInfo's home page at: http://www.lawinfo.com/.

Agree with the above. However, I don't see any cause of action against the rental office unless there are specific notice requirements in your lease. Otherwise, it would seem you have no tire to stand on.
