How do I park a car in a parking lot?

Can I sleep in the car I own on a privately owned parking lot ... I own a pickup and sleep in a motel park lot?

  • I own a pickup truck with a camper shell. I am unemployed and cannot currently afford rent so I sleep in my truck in the bed under the camper shell. Last night a security guard at a Holiday Inn told me to leave ... which I did ... but I told him I might be back if I can't find some other parking lot to sleep ... I did at a local hosptial parking lot. Do I have the right to sleep in my car ... which is my private property ... in a parking lot which I do not own?

  • Answer:

    Nope....you are trespassing on someone elses property.

Only if they allow you to.

First I am so sorry that you have to sleep in your truck. Is their a Bethlehem Inn near you? They help the homeless, or check with a local church they will help you I know people sleep in Walmart parking lot without being disturbed

Unemployed, can not afford rent ... but have a computer and internet access? Am I smelling troll here? The lot is private property, not owned by you. If the owner or any of the owner's agents (like a security guard) order you to leave and you do not do it ... you could wind up sleeping in a real bed that night, complements of the county jail!

No you do not. Could I pull my car up on your hypothetical front yard and sleep? If you let me - yes. If you didn't want me there - no. A hotel is a business that allows strangers on their property all the time, but that doesn't mean they can't tell somebody they aren't allowed there. Good luck with everything. I hope things turn around for you.

Shouldn't you be looking for a job instead of surfing the web? I think you can sleep anywhere you want if it is YOUR parking lot. Otherwise, you are on some one else's property and they can keep you from sleeping there.
