1. Law Enforcement: If a law enforcement officer has probable cause to believe that a vehicle contains evidence of a crime or is involved in criminal activity, they may seek a warrant to enter a locked garage and seize the vehicle.
2. Landlord-Tenant Relationship: If the garage is located on a property where a tenant-landlord relationship exists, the landlord may have the right to enter the garage and remove the vehicle under specific conditions, such as:
a. When the tenant has abandoned the premises and the vehicle has been left behind.
b. When the vehicle is in violation of the lease agreement or causing a nuisance to other tenants.
3. Repossession: If the vehicle has been repossessed due to non-payment or breach of a secured loan agreement, the lender or their agent may have the right to enter the locked garage and remove the vehicle.
4. Exigent Circumstances: In emergency situations where there is a risk to life, health, or property, law enforcement or emergency personnel may enter a locked garage to remove a vehicle if necessary.
5. Court Order: In certain civil or family law cases, a court may issue an order authorizing the removal of a vehicle from a locked garage.
