No Lifer
We were away this week. Got home to find one of the car's towed. It was in a normal parking spot. Reason is they re-paved everything here and we were not here to get their note about moving the vehicle. The note was left on the 27th sometime that day saying that the cars all had to be moved by the 29th at 8am (actually 28th if in a different bunch of buildings). I have yet to read through the very long lease, but does anybdoy here think I have a chance of getting my money back either through asking or sueing? I hate this fvcking management and I have lots of time, so yes sueing is worth it to me.
Two weeks I can understand, but 48 hours is in my opinion ridiculous. It was in fact less than 48 hours.
EDIT: How do I find out? Their emergency personel on duty now have no idea. I'm not calling 911 and regular police station is closed. Who do you call to find out who towed a vehicle?
*UPDATE* Well I spoke to somebody at the office and the car was towed with others to the back of the property. I just picked it up. No storage obviously but she said there would be a towing fee. I dunno how much. Guessing under $100, which is great for me. The reason being I'm going to now write a letter to the manager asking her if it's worth alienating residents over such a small fee (is it worth Skoorb bitching over $100? I bitch on ATOT for free - what do you think? 😛). My lease is up in two months and I'll make that clear in the letter and state also in a passive threatening manner that I know other people here and that I may contact their head office if I have to.
The sub-manager I just spoke to indicated we had 24 hours notice and I was adament that we did not have a full 24 hours notice. If that's a sticking point I'll get freaking witnesses. Oh well on the plus the sentra was not in a strange place with strange cars around her and I'm not out of pocket a few hundred bucks in the meantime.
*FINAL UPDATE* Well I wrote an effective letter and dropped it off at the office for the manager to read Tuesday morning. Later that day got a message on the answering machine saying she understands my point and she is waiving the towing fee because of my vacation. Others still have to pay. I've written three such letters in the past to various people like this and gym memberships and I'm three for three getting what I want 😀
