Landlords and residential property managers face parking problems that are personal and hard to enforce: a tenant’s extra vehicles, a guest who never leaves, a car parked on the lawn, or an inoperable vehicle rusting in the driveway in violation of the lease. Handling it yourself risks conflict and liability. Lizard Lick Towing & Recovery gives you a professional, fully documented enforcement program that removes the problem vehicle — and keeps you and your tenants out of a confrontation.
THE DAILY HEADACHES
The Parking Problems Landlords Deal With
- Tenants keeping more vehicles on the property than the lease allows
- Guests and non-tenants parking in spaces reserved for residents
- Abandoned and inoperable vehicles violating the lease and lowering the property’s appearance
- Vehicles parked on lawns, sidewalks, or unauthorized areas
- Expired or unregistered vehicles
- Vehicles blocking driveways, shared parking, or a neighbor’s access
- Turnover between tenants that leaves vehicles behind
HOW WE PROTECT YOU
How Lizard Lick Protects Landlords and Property Managers
The biggest risk in residential enforcement isn’t the tow — it’s the conflict and liability that can follow. Our program is built to shield you from both. Every driver wears a body camera and every truck records interior and exterior video, so each removal is fully documented and defensible. When a tenant disputes a tow, you have the photos, the violation reason, and the video — not an argument. And because vehicle owners retrieve their vehicles through our recorded office process, the confrontation never lands on you or your property.
Your 24/7 digital portal lets you verify any removal from your phone or office at any hour — what was removed, when, why, and from where.
Enforcement That Works With Your Lease
We build your program around your lease terms and property rules, so enforcement reflects exactly what your tenants agreed to. For communities and landlords who prefer a softer first step, we can apply warning stickers before any vehicle is removed — giving tenants a chance to correct the problem. We also assist with compliant signage that meets North Carolina requirements, which is what makes enforcement lawful in the first place.
ANY SCALE
From a Single Rental to a Full Portfolio
Whether you own one single-family rental, a handful of duplexes, or a portfolio of residential properties, we scale the program to fit. No property is too small, and there are no size restrictions on what we can remove — from a passenger car to an inoperable truck, RV, or trailer left on your property.
We take security seriously.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I have a tenant's unauthorized vehicle removed?
Yes — when the vehicle violates your posted rules or lease terms and your property has compliant signage, unauthorized and lease-violating vehicles can be removed. We build the program around your lease and North Carolina requirements, and we document every removal so it’s defensible.
Will this create conflict with my tenants?
A professional, third-party program actually reduces conflict. Vehicle owners deal with our office rather than with you, every removal is documented on camera, and optional warning stickers give tenants a chance to correct a violation first.
Do you work with single-family rentals, not just large properties?
Yes. No property is too small. We work with single rentals, duplexes, small multi-family properties, and full portfolios — scaling the program to fit.
Can you remove an abandoned or inoperable vehicle?
Yes. Abandoned and inoperable vehicles are among the most common calls we get from landlords. Our self-loading fleet and winches can remove vehicles that don’t run, regardless of size.
How do tenants get their vehicle back?
The registered owner or an authorized person comes to our office with valid ID and proof of ownership, and the release is handled through our documented, recorded process. Full details are on our Vehicle Retrieval page.
