Wht to do if my apartment complex is forcing me to pay for a parking spot that they cannot provide?

I recently moved into a new apartment complex. They require that you purchase a parking permit for every car. However, there is not enough spaces provided for everyone. The residents are forced to park where ever they can in the lot, unless they pay the additional $200 a month for a reserved parking space in the lot. The complex has recently started towing cars parked “illegally”. They purposefully posted no parking signs in front of otherwise legal parking spots.The curbs are even painted and the car is not effecting traffic flow. My car has now been towed twice because I arrive home late and there are no available parking spots.
