QUESTION
Was it legal to tow our motorcycle without giving us notice?

More details to this question:
My father was restoring a motorcycle for me. He'd finished and brought it down to me a few days ago. We needed to have it titled and registered. We parked it in the back of my apartment because of the lack of tags, but the landlord said we needed to move it. So we put it in our parking space in front of our apartment, in a parking lot not on a street. A day after that, they put a notice that it would be towed due to the lack of registration. There was no time frame on it, however NC Statute G.S. 20-219.10 states that unregistered vehicles should have notice of 7 days before towing. They towed the car the next day, 3 hours before we got the license plate. Am I titled to a reimbursement?

Unfortunately, you are probably not entitled to reimbursement. This statute wasn't designed to cover landlords. It really depends on what the lease says. If the lease says no untitled cars on the premises, they have the right to remove it pending the lease. You may want to have an attorney review your agreement.
