They have the right to enter any property to secure the vehicle provided it does not interfere with keeping the peace and doing so does not cause damage to the vehicle or other property. Keep in mind however that if you are the one making noise about them repoing the vehicle, they are not the ones notkeeping the peace, you are. As such, you could be the one arrested. Wouldn't that be insult to injury?

Can a repo man come on private property and move a vehicle to get to the car they want to repo?
First question: Yes, they can come on private property, with some limitations. They may not enter an enclosed building or cross a locked gate. Second question: Unless they gain consent of the owner of that vehicle, they cannot enter or move any other vehicle in order to get to the vehicle they're repossessing.
Can a repo agent go on some one else property and MOVE THAT owners vehicle to get to my vehicle?
YES In most jurisdictions, In some places (where I live ) the police must be there and observe to protect both reposseser and property holder.It is illegal in most places to hide the vehicle or attempt to block the repossession of a vehicle.So I (If I were doing this) could enter onto or into a persons property and if that person is unavailable or unwilling to move a blocking vehicle I can move that vehicle taking "REASONABLE"care to not do any property damage.I can then take the target vehicle.
What if you give the location of the car and they don't pick it up?
You are better off asking the lender or collection agency where to deliver the vehicle. If you abandon the vehicle on private property, no one will be able to enter onto the property without the private property owner's consent. And you risk having someone steal it, since you have to leave the key.
Can they legally say they were here to do a vehicle condition report and without permission enter the garage and take the car?
They can, but its not legal. Repo men have no legal authority to enter your gated property or your home without your concent to get a vehicle. If they do so you are entitled to call the police and press charges for trespass.
Can a repo company take your car from behind a locked gate in California?
No one has the right to enter your property to repo a vehicle. I your vehicle is out in the street, then its fair game. If you see the repo man coming but has not hooked up to your vehicle, you legally still have possession of the vehicle. Once the vehicle has made contact with the truck the vehicle belongs to him.
Is it trespassing if you are a passenger in the back seat in a vehicle that turned into a private non-gated neighborhood to turn around?
No. Trespass is an intentional tort. A passenger has no control over the vehicle, and therefore cannot intend to enter the property.
Can a towing company reposses your car from inside your garage in your home in Austin Texas?
No, they cannot enter and/or remove a from a garage regardless if it is locked or not. If this occurs or has occurred, local law enforcement should be notified and the involved party might wish to seek the advice of an attorney to explore the possibility of recovery of damages and property litigation.
I told the repo man to get off the property he didn't do i have any recourse now?
Unfortunately, unless the property is fenced in with a locked gate the repossession man is allowed to come on to your property to remove the item under repossession. In fact, if you attempt to physically remove him he can pepper spray you in order to protect himself. They have the right to enter your property and reclaim the goods. However, he can not enter your home, a garage, or dwelling. If it is a car, and it is in the driveway he has the right to come on your property and remove it. They cannot move any of your or anyone's property to attain the vehicle, so if you park another vehicle in front of it he cannot move that to get to yours.
