Full Breakdown
Section 5-13A-9(C) makes it unlawful for any peddler or solicitor, whether licensed or unlicensed, to enter the premises of a private residence where the owner or occupant has posted a sign reading "No Peddlers," "No Solicitors," or words of similar import at the entry to the property or to the main building. M. The same section bars using a sound producing device or crying wares for sale except as allowed under the noise code at § 11-5-6, prohibits gaining entry through ruse, deception or fraudulent concealment of the sales purpose, requires an immediate and peaceful departure once an occupant asks the solicitor to leave, and bars unwanted physical contact, following someone into a residence without consent, repeated soliciting after a clear refusal, and obscene language or gestures.
These conduct rules apply to every peddler or solicitor covered by Article A, including those exempt from the licensing requirement itself, such as charitable and political canvassers.
