Abandoned cars at rental property. Police will not tow them

[Mark K.]

I have contacted the police-they will not tow them-tenants abandoned them but police say they are on private property so they cannot to. If I call the association I risk them fining me and charging me for tow/storage? Cn I tow them somewhere myself? Any suggestions? They are in MN.

I would call a local tow company. They know the rules and will give you the options. I believe in many cases they will tow for free (and charge the owner or eventually sell). They’ll be able to tell you what you need to do legally to make it work.
