Can the property management company lock the owner's car?

Legal analysis: Under normal circumstances, the property has no right to lock the car, which is actually a violation of property rights. From a legal point of view, no matter from the civil law, civil code or relevant regulations, the property is a service department, not a law enforcement department, and the property and the owner sign a service agreement. Therefore, the property has no right to lock the car or take other compulsory measures, which infringes on the owner's property rights. If losses are caused to the owner, corresponding economic compensation should also be made. Property management and owners have an equal relationship in status and a contractual relationship of two-way market choice. Legally, the CMC has the freedom to entrust or not to entrust the property management company, and the property management company also has the freedom to accept or not to accept the entrustment. There is no relationship between leadership and being led, management and being managed, but a cooperative working relationship that does not interfere with each other's internal operations. However, if the vehicle is parked on the fire escape or in someone else's special parking space, at this time, if the purpose of the property lock is to negotiate with the owner to solve things, then at this time, it cannot be simply said that the property lock is illegal.

Legal basis: Civil Code of People's Republic of China (PRC).
