Location: California My car was towed from guest parking at an apartment complex in California. This is the timeline and details obtained from the towing authorization issued by the HOA: * First observed: October 17, according to towing authorization * Towing notice/warning posted on vehicle: October 19 on the vehicle, indicating immediate towing, with the box ticked for guest parking violations * Towed: October 21; violation cited in towing authorization: '*Parked over a week*' * Sign on property: '*Resident and guest parking only. All unauthorized vehicles will be cited and/or towed away at vehicle owner's expense. Open public parking prohibited*' However, I was a guest at the apartment complex at the time. The HOA regulations state this: *Guest Parking: Guests shall be permitted to park in the parking spaces designated for guest parking. No guest space shall be occupied by a vehicle for more than 48 continuous hours. The Board has the right to charge a fee or tow any vehicle violating the guest parking rules.* But this rule was never communicated to me and is not shown on any posted signs. Was the towing fully compliant with California law, since the posted signs never mentioned a 48-hour parking limit and I was parked there as a guest? Would this be an improper tow? If so, could the HOA or towing company be sued?
