Towing Issues: towing notice, car ports, notification requirements

Question
The apartment complex I live in was repaving the car ports which I was completely unaware of.  The next morning I came out and my car was towed out of my own designate spot.  I ran back to my apartment and saw that there was a notice that was sent just the day before and was less than 24 hours of it being issued. Unfortunately with my busy work schedule I was too tired to read anything the night before and therefore did not see the 'MOVE OR GET TOWED AT YOUR OWN EXPENSE' notice that was rolled up and still on the floor.  I feel like that is an illegal tow and should be given back the $200 it took to get my car back.  Is there a minimum requirement of hours a tenant is legally given to move your car when notified or some type of regulation?

Answer
Well it does sound as if they did post notice with all the tenants, and the time line generally is hard to prove in cases like this.

Notes under the door when no one is home (at work) generally can be there for 10 minutes to 10 hours... You mention "to tired to read" and that would be a bad part on your part if it went to court...

Failure to read the notice would be looked at by the courts as being your fault and your responsibility for the bill.  
The notice would be looked at as the "legal notice" which meets the notification requirements.

Now depending on the location (no information on that provided) notices have to be given, but as a rule that generally applies to "ILLEGALLY PARKED VEHICLES" not vehicles impeding construction work...
