In what context is written client authorization required when towing vehicles?

Written client authorization is required when towing vehicles as per client instructions by the property owner or manager because it establishes the legal authority for the towing of the vehicle. This requirement is in place to ensure that property owners or their designated managers have provided explicit consent, which protects the towing company from potential legal issues related to unauthorized towing. It also helps to clarify the responsibilities and rights of both parties involved in the towing process.

In many jurisdictions, including California, the law emphasizes the necessity of authorization to prevent disputes or misunderstandings. Without this written authorization, towing actions may be considered illegal or could lead to liability for wrongful towing, making it an essential part of the process. This ensures that the towing complies with local regulations and respects the property rights of the vehicle owner.
