The apartments complex where I‘m currently residing is a gated community for college students who live near MSU. They routinely have malfunctions with the gate and it was left open for almost all of August and September. During the latest malfunctions someones car had the windshields bashed, the car spray painted, and the then shot into. Yes, someone shot a bullet into it. Well, during the last weekend when the gate was still broken, they towed my motorcycle. They said they towed it because it had a flat tire. I was at home that weekend and all I know is that before I had left my apartment the tire was not flat (the tires are a little under a year old and they‘re Pirellis‘). Now I have to go pay $150 to get it back and at least $200 for a new tire. Is there anything I can do about this? I feel like it‘s partially the apartment complex‘s fault for leaving the gate open when it clearly states in the lease that it‘s a gated community. Thanks for any input!
Check you lease as the others stated- but if that offers you nothing I would try to talk/negotiate to the landlord but my guess is in this situation unless they are really nice and offer you a discount on next months rent for the fees for tow etc. that they will offer nothing even if it is their fault. Worth a try though.
Read your rental agreement. The specifications of what can be parked where should be listed there. Was your motorcycle parked in a legal spot as determined legal by your rental agreement? Is there any provision in the rental agreement regarding flat tires or the condition of any vehicle parked in any spot on the property? Do you have any proof that your motorcycle was the target of any vandals? Even a brand new tire can go flat if it runs over a nail or screw. And yes, you do have some rights regarding the property but you have to take steps to uphold those rights. The assumption here is that you pay a higher rent to live in a secure, gated community. If the gate broke and they left it open without any additional security provision, then that is a breach of contract. You would have had to send a registered letter of demand that demands that the gate be fixed within a reasonable amount of time in order for the gated community living conditions to be upheld. No letter means that you allowed the landlord to continue to default and not fix the gate. At this point, you didn't provide enough information to say if you have a case or not.
