Can our appartment complex charge us for parking after our lease has been signed?

There is ample parking but they are threatening to tow vehicles that don’t “reserve” parking spots for an additional monthly charge per vehicle.

Absent any specific provision in the written lease agreement stating that you would be subject to a monthly parking charge for the apartment complex where your rental is and the absence of any rules and regulations pertaining to the complex, you are not obligated to pay for a monthly fee. I suggest that you carefully read your lease and the rules of the complex assuming there are rules. The answer to your question submitted will be there most likely.
