In Oregon, you are not allowed to tow vehicles for expired registration alone. I've been doing this for 16 some years, and JUST learned that one today!

We just gave permission for our towing company to tow specific types of vehicles. We gave out notices to our residents three plus weeks ago, asking to update their vehicle information first. We then sent out a notice, to every door, stating that all vehicles must have parking tabs, not have flat tires etc., and have up-to-date state registration tabs. So far they have towed a dozen or more vehicles. Most of the residents are understanding, but of course, there are a few that are upset. We remind them of the notices sent, as well as the parking addendum they signed along with their lease. When all is said and done,the majority of the residents are happy with the process. This may be necessary to ensure that residents have a place to park when they get home and are not forced to park in the street.
Note: We do have a designated guest parking area.

I just made an announcement that our community was implementing a permit parking system. I outlined what the Resident was expected to do to comply so their vehicle was not towed.

Will anyone share their letter to apartment residents regarding their reason (other than security) for implementing a parking permit procedure.

We have 29 parking spaces for 32 units that are 2 and 3 bedrooms. We allow one permit per adult driver in the household with a maximum of 2. There is no where else to park. Our biggest problem is overnight guests, as well. It also helps us identify unauthorized occupants.

Our permits are large, bright and glow in the dark. This makes it easy for the towing company to drive through and see an illegally parked vehicle. This is referred to "predatory towing." We also allow any vehicle with a handicap permit (resident or not) to park in the resident's reserved area.

We have a master list in excel with the vehicle tag, description, unit # and resident it is registered to. We had one resident who would transfer her sticker to her unauthorized occupant during the day so they could leave their car.

Didn't take long for maintenance staff to uncover that one with the master list.
