Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

Towing

For over a year, only one sign was posted in the community. Sign had a 96 hours parking on street prior to my car getting towed. HOA made a change on the sign, placing a 4 sticker over the 96, since it was contradicting the rules and regulation concerning the parking. My car got towed earling morning the next day. No notice was made that there was a mistake on the sign and a correction was made. Per the CVC, I can be reimbursed twice the cost for the towing. Can I bring this up to small claims court.

Re: Towing

Odd question...if I understand you correctly, the HOA changed a city sign? or was this an HOA sign? Was your car on a city street or a street within the complex?

There may be something in the HOA rules that allows them to make changes without notice, but they will need to be read thoroughly.

You always have the option of filing suit, but before you do, I'd suggest reading the HOA rules for the above, as well as to be certain they will not have the option of countersuing for their attorney fees, (this will also be in the HOA rules if they can do this).

If you would like some assistance, please feel free to contact me directly at 626-578-0708 or through my web site at www.RulesofEmployment.com.
