Rational behind no warning booting tenants vehicle
Hi, This is my first post so if it's answered elsewhere let me know.
Is there a good reason to boot tenants vehicles with no warning for minor violations?
I only ask because my car got booted a month ago without warning for vehicle registration and it's the primary reason I'm moving out as soon as the lease is up.
I imagine most tenants would feel the same and I'd like to say I'd never do it when I become a landlord, but if there is a good reason let me know.
SIDE NOTE: My vehicle registration was up to date, but the DMV in my state ran out of the stickers. So it's cost me $75 and the management team acts like they have absolutely no control over the guys that booted the car, and they won't reimburse the fee.

They do this do prevent the parking lot being full of inoperable hoopties. Landlording is tough...tenants are always trying to get over...if you give an inch they take a yard. The management simply wants to provide adequate parking for all tenants.
