Retiro de vehículos no autorizados de estacionamientos privados

Explicación Simple

No puedes estacionar tu coche en un lugar privado sin permiso. Si lo haces, el dueño puede llamarle a alguien para que lo quite y tú tendrás que pagar por eso.

Es como si alguien entrara a tu casa sin permiso y se quedara a ver televisión. Tú tienes el derecho de pedirle que se vaya y de llamar a alguien para que lo haga.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan tiene un estacionamiento en su edificio y pone un letrero grande que dice 'Prohibido estacionar sin permiso'. Un día, María aparca su coche sin pedirle permiso. Juan llama a una grúa, y el coche de María es llevado. Luego, ella tiene que pagar para recuperarlo.

§ 20-219.2. Removal of unauthorized vehicles from private lots. (a) It shall be unlawful for any person other than the owner or lessee of a privately owned or leased parking space to park a motor or other vehicle in such private parking space without the express permission of the owner or lessee of such space if the private parking lot is clearly designated as such by legible signs no smaller than 24 inches by 24 inches prominently displayed at all entrances thereto, displaying the current name and current phone number of the towing and storage company, and, if individually owned or leased, the parking lot or spaces within the lot are clearly marked by signs setting forth the name of each individual lessee or owner. A vehicle parked in a privately owned parking space in violation of this section may be removed from such space upon the written request of the parking space owner or lessee to a place of storage and the registered owner of such motor vehicle shall become liable for removal and storage charges. Any person who removes a vehicle pursuant to this section shall not be held liable for damages for the removal of the vehicle to the owner, lienholder or other person legally entitled to the possession of the vehicle removed; however, any person who intentionally or negligently damages a vehicle in the removal of such vehicle, or intentionally or negligently inflicts injury upon any person in the removal of such vehicle, may be held liable for damages.
