The repo man is required to leave if you ask him to do so. He is allowed to come onto your property but he cannot create a public disturbance, such as getting into an argument with the homeowner. You can check with local authorities.
This means your car can't be removed from those areas without your consent. Otherwise, repo agencies can take your car from the driveway, private lots away from your home, or any public space.
Breach of Peace: Repo men are categorically prohibited from using force, threats, intimidation, opening a locked garage or any action that constitutes a breach of peace during the repossession. This includes physical altercations, verbal abuse, or any behavior that may escalate the situation.
A repossession affidavit is a legal statement filed with the Department of Motor Vehicles when you repossess a car from a customer. This document provides details about the repossession such as why and how the vehicle was repossessed. It also informs government authorities that the vehicle has been repossessed.
Repo agents have limitations when it comes to accessing private property, particularly closed garages and locked gates. While repo agents can legally access open private property like an unfenced driveway off the street, they are prohibited from entering closed garages or other private spaces without authorization.
Repo agents have legal rights to repossess vehicles from open and accessible areas of private property, such as driveways or open garages, without breaching the peace. However, accessing closed or locked spaces, like closed garages or fenced areas, without proper authorization constitutes a breach of peace.
