Question

In the state of Texas does the landlord have the right to tow a tenants car if the tenants has an outdated sticker and no car insurance?

Answer 1

In any and all states - YES.

Answer 2

A boiler plate clause in every Texas Apartments Association lease that I've ever seen (most landlords are members or employ property manager who are) both as a landlord and tenant in Texas from 1977 through 2006 barred any non-operational vehicles from the premises without the express written permission of the landlord. The definition of non-operational vehicles included any vehicle without a current registration sticker and decal and safety inspection sticker. It gave the landlord the authority to remove any non-operational vehicles without notice and at the vehicle owner's expense.



Under Texas law, the property owner is authorized to order the removal of any unauthorized vehicle parked on his property.

Answer 3

if the car is not moved for any length of time it would be considered abandoned, anyone can report a car that has not moved in three days to the city who will ticket it or eventually tow it

if the car that is not working is on the landlord's property and he has notified the owner that is is a nuisance, yes he can have it towed

Answer 4

Yes.

Answer 5

Towing laws in Texas are a little odd. Most of the time the towing companies try hard to be gone with the car before you know what is happening. Look at your lease. I am a landlord of single family homes. I do not allow more than a certain number of cars per house- I require them all to be running and up to date on paperwork. I have never had to enforce it so I don't know exactly what would happen. But when I was in college my landlord had one of my cars (that was on blocks) towed. Texas

Answer 6

The state has nothing to do with it.

Your lease or the rules for your community probably have parking rules which will include the conditions under which your vehicle may be removed from the property.

It is not at all uncommon for communities to tow cars which are unregistered, inoperative, or have not been moved within a certain time frame.

Answer 7

Just tow it without it being abandoned, or blocking a driveway? No. That would be viewed as theft.



The sticker is the responsibility of the tenant and the city. Car insurance has nothing to do with you either.

Answer 8

In some states the landlord has a right to have a car towed if the car has no current state license tags. I don't know how a landlord would know if their tenant has car insurance or not.



You would have to check the laws of Texas to see if a car is not currently licensed can be towed. You are able to find this information out by contacting the local landlord tenant agency. You would have to google to find this agency, followed by the city and state in which you reside.



In most rental complexes the landlord or property manager would hire tow company that would periodically check the complex parking lot to find unauthorized and illegally cars in the parking space. This tow company would also tow unlicensed vehicle.



I hope this has been of some benefit to you, good luck.

Answer 15

Yes.

Answer 16

Where I live, cars without current registration are considered junk, and more than one on your property can get someone summonsed for running a junkyard without a permit.

Absolutely...
