Towing the towing company's car
Discussion
I'm just wondering here...
I have a flat in a block that is rented out, they don't use the parking space, so when I'm in the area, I use it. The small car park is now protected by barrier, but previously wasn't. The warnings are still up that cars parked illegally will be clamped or towed. The last couple of times I've been there, there's been another car parked in my allocated space, with the badge of the people we use to enforce the parking in the window.
Given that warnings signs are up, could I have that car towed by a different company? Despite the fact that the signs are in the name of the first company?
-I'm a little hazy on the current rules on towing in general, I seem to recall that the barrier was put up due to a crackdown on towing/clamping operators, so it might all be a moot point?

Don't your tenants ever have visitors that use it or are you saying it's not included as part of the rental agreement?
If it's a car belonging to the parking enforcement company I'd suggest you have words with them, if it's another resident with a permit in the window from the enforcement company I'd suggest you still have words with the company.
If the space is included in the rental agreement then you have no right to park in it without the tenants express permission.
Allocated spaces are a nightmare when they're left empty for too long.

Its specifically excluded in the rental agreement.If it's a car belonging to the parking enforcement company I'd suggest you have words with them, if it's another resident with a permit in the window from the enforcement company I'd suggest you still have words with the company.

I wrote a note and stuck it on the windscreen today. Lets see if that yields results I guess.
