When I was renting in Ratoath, there was a motion at an AGM to bring in a private clamping company for the apartment blocks. Money grabbing scheme because there was ALWAYS ample parking inside because the gates were never broken, couldn't be opened without a fob, no keypad etc, so only residents and visitors parked inside.
Everyone was told they had to pay €30 to register with APCOA, and €15 a year for their parking disc linked to their space. There's about 104 spaces in total. My space was in my lease so I said I wasn't paying shít, sent letters to the management company telling them the same. A lot of people who owned their house/apartment had their space in their deeds so it was their property so why the fúck should they pay a company not to come on to their private property and tamper with their vehicle?
Took a while before the first clamp went on. They never touched my car because I had a notice in the window. Any neighbours that got clamped I took the clamp off by dropping the wishbone or taking off a track rod arm. I always gave them the clamp and let them do what they want with it. One chap cut it up with a con saw and slowly sent bits by An Post to APCOA and the management company. Another threw there's in the bin. Another welded all the chain links together to make it in to a table and used it outside to hold a flower pot and another gave it to her kids to play with.
