As with most legal questions on yahoo aswers, it will vary from state to state. I am unaware of any jurisdictions where this is legal. Where did he have you car towed? Why couldn't you go get it. If your car is taken for no reason, contact the authorities.
If your landlord has evicted you, then you are tresspassing. If you were parked on a public street in that instance, the same rules apply as above. If you were parked on his property, then he could tow the car.

Unless your car was part of the property you rented, he has no legal right to tow it. Call the police right away because he's stolen your car!
You might want to show your landlord his obligations and what he's not allowed to do under the tenant landlord law in your state(for example, here in Ohio your landlord has to give you 24 hour notice before he comes to the house, and he is not allowed to be in the house when you're not there).
I'm sure it's available online if you look under "(Your state) State Law" or whatever it's called, ex. Ohio Revised Code.

I guess it depends on if it was parked on the property. You see, if you are illegally occupying the building (you've been evicted but they cant get you to physically leave), then they could have the car towed off the property, because it is there illegally as well. But if they havent evicted you, then you are legally still allowed to be there, and so is your car. So, depending on what stage you are at, Id consider a claim in small claims court.

renters rights are a state by state thing. I would find a renters advocacy group, and ask them. They will know
