[sc] Apartment Building Having Cars Towed With No Signage?
Location: a major city in South Carolina
My friend parked in a spot when he came over to hang for an hour, and his car was towed by the towing company the apartment building, incurring him a loss of around $200.
The buildings have roads that appear publicly accessible. They are painted like any other road, as are the parallel parking spaces. There is no gate preventing access, nor is there any signage that limits the amount of time that folks might park there. There is no signage saying that anyone cannot park there. Parking spaces are not labeled or numbered. There is a street sign like any other street sign in my city that names the road where the spots are.
There is a sign that says towing is enforced by the towing company. The sign does not dictate what the conditions or towing are, i.e. that you cannot park there, or if you're there after a certain time, etc. Simply the number and address of the towing company.
Is there any legal requirement for a street to be labeled with some kind of notice of no parking or limitations in order for a tow to be legal?
Does my friend have any rights here to recover their costs?
