Cleveland respects residents' right to post "No Soliciting" or "No Trespassing" signs. Solicitors who ignore posted signs may be cited for trespass or solicitation violations. Ohio law also provides protection against aggressive or deceptive solicitation practices.
Residents may post "No Soliciting" signs to deter unwanted door-to-door visitors. Licensed solicitors who ignore clearly posted signs may be cited for trespass under Cleveland Codified Ordinances. Ohio's Consumer Sales Practices Act also provides protections against deceptive or high-pressure door-to-door sales tactics. Residents can report aggressive solicitors to the police.
Ignoring No Soliciting signs may result in trespass citations and fines. Aggressive or deceptive solicitation may result in criminal charges and civil penalties under state consumer protection law.
