Summary
Aurora, Illinois lets residents bar door-to-door solicitors with a posted 'No Peddlers or Solicitors' sign near the entrance, making entry onto that property for soliciting an unlawful trespass.
When the owner, occupant or person legally in charge of the premises has displayed on such premises in a conspicuous position near the entrance thereof, a sign bearing the words "No Trespassing," "No Peddlers or Solicitors," "No advertisement" or any similar notice or words of similar import indicating that the occupants of such premises do not desire to have their right of privacy disturbed, then entering upon any such private premises by any person for any such purpose is unlawful, and shall constitute a trespass on private property.
