He voluntarily signed and read the contract.
Whether one agrees or disagrees that this as a policy is immaterial.
It was something in their contracts, all people living there signed the agreements, its a policy they have had a very long time, so its not anything newly created to discriminate against anyone there now.
You don’t like a contract term, you either get it crossed out, or amended, or you don’t sign the contract.
Based on the information at hand, his car is not in breach of the contract. If he objects based on his assertion that his car is compliant, then they can’t tow his car without risking a major lawsuit. If they tow it, they might regret it. They would need a court order to tow it. They would probably never get it since vague terms like “heavily dented” would be construed in favor of the tenant.
Agreed. He signed it. Now suck it up and get the car fixed...or learn some basic auto body techniques. It’s not rocket surgery.
Ah.. the stock “ conservative” response I was expecting to see somewhere on this thread. I am so over this line of thinking I don’t know where to begin. I’m just at a place right now where fighting back against petty injustice is way more important to me than any high minded principle someone on a conservative website can regurgitate at me. In other words, I literally don’t care about the contract. It needs to be fought and defeated. I identify as an American, not a good little Republican.
Finally, a logical response.
The man obviously has no collision insurance.
I would never *read* and *sign* that lease agreement unless I was pretty darn sure I could fix my car if it were dented (and I really wanted to live there). Have a backup plan folks.
I suspect the man was living paycheck to paycheck when he moved in. I feel for his difficulty, but he’s legal adult who signed off on this. He should have rented somewhere lease.
If every sob story is sufficient to break a legal contract, then all contracts are worthless. Further down the slippery slope we go.
PS: He can go to an AutoZone and buy a car cover for under $50. A car cover say “I care about my car”. I bet they would not object to that.
