Are you sure that it was your actual tenant that parked their car there, and not one of their guests, who probably don't know about who and who can't park there? Before you put up any signs, you need to inform ALL your tenants, in writing, about who can park there, and who can't. Also in that letter, tell your Ts to always let any of their guests who come over, know about your rules.

And take another look at your wording on the sign you want to put up. To me, it says ALL TENANTS may park there, just not anyone else. So any guests could get towed, but not the tenants who you say do not have the parking privilege, as they are TENANTS, also. That is why you MUST write letters to ALL Ts, informing them of your rules. Then, after they have gotten your rules, if you are still finding violations, then put up a sign. However, I have no idea what a sign would say, that shows certain Ts can park there, and certain ones can't. I guess, if all your Ts are informed in writing, once a violation happens, you could just automatically tow their car. They WILL get the message, once they find that there car is not there, and they have to pay a fee to get it. Just be SURE the car belongs to the actual T that cannot park there.
