Towing and Parking Enforcement for Apartment Communities
Apartment parking is personal: residents pay for their spaces and expect them to be open when they get home. We help managers keep assigned, permit, and guest parking working the way the lease says it should.
Common problems we solve
- • Non-residents parking in assigned or covered spaces
- • Guests staying for days in guest parking
- • Inoperable or abandoned cars taking up spaces
- • Cars blocking fire lanes, trash enclosures, and garages
How we help
- • Free compliant tow-away signs at every entrance
- • Free red curb and fire lane painting
- • Help setting up resident permits and guest passes
- • 24/7 response when your manager authorizes a tow
- • Tenant-requested tows from assigned spaces at small rentals of 15 units or fewer, as state law allows

Frequently asked questions
Does the manager have to be there for every tow?
Usually, yes. California requires an authorized person from the property to sign the authorization and be present to verify the violation. Small rentals of 15 units or fewer with no onsite manager have a narrow exception for tenant-requested tows from assigned spaces, and fire lane violations can be covered by a general written authorization.
Can we tow a resident's car?
If a resident's car violates posted rules, such as parking in someone else's space or a fire lane, it can be towed like any other vehicle, following the same authorization rules. Make sure your lease and posted rules say the same thing.
