| | | no front plate
What is the name of your state? Il.
I was given a ticket for no front plate while parked in my apartment complex lot. I meet the requirements in my lease for parking, so can they ticket me for that? |

| | | Who gave you the ticket? Your apartment vehicle rules have absolutely no bearing on whether the vehicle is legal to operate on public roadways.

Oftentimes, the landowner permits/requests police enfocement on its property, and others, the law may define a parking lot that is merely "open" to the public as "public property" for purposes of issuing violations.

| | | Your operation of the vehicle (or lack thereof) is irrelevant.
More importantly, if the ticket was issued 6 months ago, you're likely out of luck to contest it now.

| | | The lease for an apartment where I used to live had an ambiguous clause prohibiting "vehicle storage". If your lease has a similar clause, a vehicle that is not displaying proper licensing (cannot be driven legally) may be considered "storage" or abandoned. | |
