When someone is on another's property they are trespassing so get a 'no trespassing sign' and put it in plain sight. If this person is still on your property then be calm and ask them to read the sign and to please stay off your property. If they become belligerent or they refuse to stop then phone the police.
***MORE INFO*** We received a rental agreement to sign, for a 1 week vacation rental property. In the contract, it states that if damage is done to the rental property and we do not pay for it, the owner has the right to place a lien on our permanent residence. Both properties are in Maryland. Is this even possible? Should we sign it?
Section 6-402(a) prohibits trespassing on property of another where a sign has been posted at the entrance of a property. Other sections of the same law refer to criminal trespass on land or property that has been posted against either trespassing or hunting.
The private property contained a no trespassing sign to keep unwanted criminals away from vandalizing it.
Unauthorized persons on the property. Some states only enforce the law if it is posted, hence; the sign.
Yes technically it does because the property is belonging to a person and unless you're allowed in it you are not supposed to go in it.
No, in Florida, a "No Trespassing" sign is not required in a private gated community for the trespassing law to be enforced. Trespassing laws still apply on private property regardless of whether signs are posted.
Technically no one is allowed on your property without your permission! Put a no trespassing sign up you can buy it at home depot for a few dollars. Than if it happens again you can have them arrested for trespassing.
Possibly, because by having a gate and a driveway you give implicit consent to people who have to coming onto your property. If you notified the post office that you don't want them to come onto the property, or leave a specific notice at the gate or a postbox, then they could technically be trespassing, but they aren't normally.
You should be alright as long as you have a sign up that says "no trespassing". I used to use my paintball gun on teenagers. It sure showed them that "no trespassing" means no trespassing.
No Trespassing.
While I am not prepared to quote the Ohio Revised Code, in general it is a good idea to post the signs frequently around the perimeter of the property in easy-to-see areas. Although you do not necessarily need a sign to have the police come and arrest someone for trespassing on your property, the signs will help protect you in a civil suit if someone is injured or dies on your property and you are sued by the family, estate, etc.
