So I come home and my car is gone. :-(

After 1 week in The Netherlands I come home (10 mins ago) and see that my car is gone.
:frown:

Turned out that they decided to pave the parking lot while I was gone. I never got the message and now it has been towed.
Heads will roll at the rental office tomorrow if I have to pay to get it back.
:disgust::|
 
I'm pretty sure that there are some legal previsions for this kind of situation since you were only given 48 hours notice. I think under this situation the manager had the right to remove your car but shoud take the responsiblity for the cost of towing your car.

I sure do hope so.

 
Same thing happened to Skoorb, but in their case they only got 24 hours.. or less.. notice, IIRC.
 
Read your lease first and see if you have any basis for arguing with them before you go in. If it says they only have to give you 48 hours notice for stuff like that, you're SOL. I doubt it'd say that though. Should at least check though.
 
Yeah, but if it's in your lease, then you'll look stupid. 🙂

Edit: Whether it's in the lease or not though, it still sucks that they only gave you two days notice.
 
I used to live in Montreal and the winters tend to get a lot of snow. The city would put little signs on the side of the road to indicate which side they would plow on a particular evening. These signs were so small that they would routinely get buried by further snow fall. The city would tow your car to the other side of the street and charge you some amount of money ($50 I think) for their troubles.

The onus was definitely on us to make sure we moved our cars.
 
In my lease before (I am not sure about every lease I have had) there was a clause that a car must be moved within a 48 hour period. I think it had to do with preventing non-moving/project cars from taking up spaces.

Usually if you are leaving more than a few days you should find out from the rental manager if anything is planned.

You're lucky. In my city, snowbirds get towed straight to our huge impound lot (so huge that they have a shuttle van to drive you to your car after you pay the impound fee). Towing companies make a killing during snow "emergencies."
 
place i live in told us about 2 weeks ahead of time that they were going to repave the parking lot

seems to me your landlord person thing sux0r
