In our documents we have a rule that residents are not allowed to park on the grass at any time and cannot park their cars on the street for overnight parking (2am to 6am) or they risk being towed. We have a sign at our main entrance stating - no parking on the grass and no overnite parking is clearly written in our application that all residents , both owners and renter have to fill out before they are approved. It is also written in every newsletter that is printed and distributed. We have a contract with a towing company and each car that is towed has to be signed for by either a sent fax to the tow compnay or a signed order to tow ticket. As you may well know the people are not happy campers when their car is towed. We have a tow committee who can authorize a tow. We have asked the tow company not to give out the members names for obvious reasons and they have agreed and it has worked out very well for us until recently. Half the people towed do not complain- as they know they have violated the rule and must pay the conquences, the other half do not want to undertsand and their excuses go from, I didn't know, it was only 3am, thats not overnight, I've lived here for x # of years and never did it before, you should have knocked on my door, you should be more community friendly, blah,blah,blah, blah. It is only a very small number that violate the rule,but violation is violation. We now have a resident, who was towed, say that the tow company committed fraud and cut an pasted a signature on the form. My question is simple. This is one of our documented rules and the HOA Board is to up hold rules. We do not want our names given out. How have you handled this?
