| | | We live in apartment complex and my finace just got a parking ticket
What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NJ
We have a problem in this complex. We were told that there was "ample" parking, but that is just not true. My finace got home late the other night, and the only parking spot was in a handicapped spot. She left the car there, and when she went to the car the next day, it had a parking ticket on it. Is there any way to fight this? It is the time of the year when college gets out, and many families have their students come home for the summer, and then parking becomes a joke. The lot does completely fill up, then the few street spots get filled, and at that point, where can you put the car? Can anyone offer some advice? |

If she doesn't have a handicap placard.... she needs to pay the fine. Quote: |

| Yep. Don't park in a handicap spot.

Why has he spent over $1.35M in legal fees to block disclosure... rather than spend $12 for a VALID birth cert to settle the matter? The 'certificate' he has presented doesn't qualify to get a drivers license, wouldn't allow a child to qualify for Little League, or for a real citizen to get a US passport!

If not, then open the wallet and pay the fine.

When an apartment complex does not have assigned spots, and there are not enough of them, where are you supposed to put the car? You can't put it in yuor pocket and carry it upstairs? Isn't the complex obligated to have enough spots for all the people that live there? |

A song comes to mind.... These boots are made for walking, that's just what they do....

Park a few blocks away wherever there are legal spots available if the complex lot is full. A walk is good exercise for everyone. |
