"the "resident" that towed my vehicle paid for my vehicle to be towed out of her own pocket and i have to pay $300 to the towing company to get it back."
Sorry, but if she paid to have the vehicle towed, why do you "have to" pay $300 to a towing company to get it back? You might want to ask your city-county government what regulations they have on tow companies.
"i have already submitted a claim to my homeowners assocication."
Your homeowner's association isn't going to pay any "claim", nor is it responsible for what some whackadoo tenant did. You sue that tenant (though you'd clearly want to send a nasty note to the owner of the property about his-her tenant's behavior).
"does the homeowners assoc. trump any lease she may have?"
I'm not sure what you mean here. If you were in unmarked space, she wasn't entitled to tow your car. HOA has no involvement in this.
"is there any way to get my vehicle back without paying the towing fee?"
Addressed earlier -- I thought you said that the neighbor supposedly paid for the tow. As such, why would you have to pay $300 to the tow company? (Have you let it sit in the tow yard for days or weeks?)
"do i have to/ or can i take the "resident" to small claims court?"
We can't possibly know what you will *have* to do to resolve this, but of course you *can* sue this person. I suggest you get your car out of the tow place (after confirming what operating rules-regulations may apply in your city county) before you rack up a ton of storage fees. Then I'd go after her.
thanks for any help
