A car was illegally parked on my private propery am I liable to any damages to the vehicle?

Hello,
I am in Los Angeles, Ca. Recently had a vehicle parked in the alley that is attached to the back of my house and according to the platt maps is part of my lot. It is a person who previously parked their and who I had left notes on her wind sheild and asked her in person not to park their. Anyway, she was once again parked their and her car was keyed and evidently covered with some sort of liquid I was wondering if I am liable for her damages since I am the home owner.

If it's your property and she's trespassing, shoot her for trespassing, not liable for any damages anymore.

Go and knock on your neighborhood door and buy her or him something nice and ask them could I talk with you for a minutes.
Please, we don't park your car back of my parked anymore please because sometime I have a family reservation visit and no place for them to park like my parent and my cousin they have no place to park their car.

I am sorry to disturb you but please don't park your car in my parking lot anymore please. Thank you very much.

That all you have to told them and that all you have to do.


*Naughty Cheerleader*
Do it anyway
BAM BAM BAM!!!

Nope. If that is officially recognized as your property, she was trespassing. Then again, in some cases you are liable for anything that happens on your property. Its a catch 22 but I dont think in this case, since it is an ongoing issue, that you would be held liable. What you should have done is have her car towed previously to set a precedent of the trouble.

Expect her to file a claim with your homeowners insurer. Also, I hope you have an alibi. Seek counsel on this.

No way, you aren't liable for that.

vandalism is still vandalism, and if she thinks you did it, sure

you may win the lawsuit if she tries and sues, but you will still have to waste your time and money battling it in court

I dont think you are liable at all. But you could call the police and ask them to remove the car (tow it away)

No, you are not.

Just like you're not responsible if someone comes to visit you, and their car gets stolen.

not if it was parked there without your permission. if you left her a note telling her not to park there again, and she did anyway, then it's not your responsibility. any court would accept those notes as sufficient evidence.

Being liable requires that you owed that person a duty and were negligent in performing the duty owed. This person illegally parked on your property without permission, so you owed no duty to protect their vehicle and as such aren't liable.

If you keyed the car and covered it with liquid that's another story, however.

no i don't think you should be liable for her damages. You told her not to park there and she deliberately kept parking there. It is her fault unless you were the one that keyed it but i doubt that was the case.

depends on the state in the US. You could be liable if you do not have any sign up for no parking private property... put the signs up it is way cheaper.

Nope. Nadda. No Way. It's her fault she parked in a no parking area...on your property. It's her loss, and she can file it on her insurance to repair it.

ya think if on your property you have to cover it. like if a burglar breaks in to your house and hurt themselves then they could sue you so would presume this woman could sue you for damages to car

no.
if they try that sh*it, then sue

No, You shouldn't be liable, seeing as it wasn't you..
Unless you keyed the car?

No. As long as it's not done by you. But I can tell you how to get rid of it. We had that happen to us. I called the police and told them and then asked can i have it towed away? The answer was yes as long as no damage was done to it. I found out it took two weeks for the man to find his car. We had it towed 200 miles away.


supermaltese
No you're not liable but do not get short or rude because he may commit other, bigger, crimes - to get you back, or out of spite.

You can surely tow the car, thats probably the best thing to do.

No, if you have not allowed the car to park in your property then it is trespassing. You are not liable for any damages if you didn't damage the car. Call the police if the car doesn't move
