Can they do this? Is this not the police’s jurisdiction instead of my landlord’s?

It depends on whether in your state your landlord has a contractual right to do so because you do not have a legal vehicle on the road. If you have an issue with it, contact the department of motor vehicles and your state attorney general and file a consumer complaint.
