Can my car be illegally towed from an apartment complex if no signs were posted and parking spots were not marked with a resident number?

The towing was done in the middle of the night, between the hours of 11 pm and 4 am. Parking is not specified. I was a guest. Parking spots are not numbered for guest. I was not parked infront of a building but between them. Signs are not posted warning of tow. Guest signs are not posted specifying that you cannot park somewhere. Car has not been at the towing company 24 hours yet. And apparently the complex has a contract w/the company.

You have not stated the reason why your car was towed from the apartment complex where it was parked even though you have stated what was not present when your car was in place such as "no parking" signs.

I suggest that you contact the apartment complex's representative as to the reasons for the towing of your vehicle and to determine if your car was illegally towed.
