Does the property have the right to lock the car?

Property has no right to lock the car. The behavior of the property company locking the car is equivalent to detaining the car in disguise. The owner's private car is completely owned by the owner, and his right to control the use and income is entirely owned by the owner. The property company is not a law enforcement department and has no right to lien or detain the owner's car. If the car is locked, you can complain to the management department, and if it is serious, you can sue the court for compensation. The property management company accepts the entrustment of the industry committee to exercise the vehicle management right and collect the parking fee, but the long-term failure of the property management company to return the vehicle has exceeded the reasonable self-relief limit.

Only two departments have the right to judge whether the vehicle is parked illegally, that is, the traffic police and the urban management. In addition, no unit has the right to post tickets or fines for illegally parked vehicles. Locking cars with chains, as a property management company, has violated the law and is illegal. According to the property management, the purpose of posting the notice is not to lock the car or fine it, but to restrict the owner to a certain extent, which proved to be effective.
