Abandoned car at our rental property ?

Question

Hi

My tenants have informed me that, there is a car in the parking lot for the last one week, none of the tenants own the car. I called the cops and they came and checked. They said it is not a stolen car, so we don't do anything as it is on a private property. They told to tow it.

What are my next steps to Tow the car away from there?

I appreciate your suggestions.

Just call a towing company and tell them to come get it, it's free, if someone comes to collect it, they will have to go down to the impound and pay to get it. If your worried about some action from someone, just drop a 24hr notice on the window that it will be towed on x date if it's still on the property.

Thank you all for you suggestions.

I called a towing company, who has a required licenses to tow the unauthorized vehicle.

Looks like they come and put the notice for at least 24hrs,  before towing.

Thanks

Georgia requires the tow company to post signage on the lot and have a contract to tow a car. If you start today they should be able to get it by Friday.

Is it on your property?

We had a similar situation on a house we were flipping intown, except that the car was literally in the driveway and blocking our renovation.  We called a local towing company and they knew the laws and process that needed to be followed.  They came and posted a sign on the property and on the car window for several days, then came and towed the car.
