In general, trespassing is going onto the property of another, without their consent. If they consented, it is not trespass. Now- can you show you were invited?
The easy answer is no, as you were invited. The problem here is that an apartment complex has what are known as common areas that are accessible to all tenants. If you were "caught" trespassing in a common area by the complex management or their security, it can be said that you are trespassing if you were not in fact invited by ALL tenants of the complex, which if course would be highly unlikely.Assuming you can prove that you were invited however, this should not be an issue.The fact that this question was asked begs the further question as to why the management/security felt you was trespassing in the first place. There are always extenuating circumstances.Added: ALSO - if you have previously been "barred" from the grounds by the complex management you can be prosecuted for entering upon the property REGARDLESS of whether you were invited by an individual resident/tenant or not.

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.
Yes, it can still be considered trespassing if you enter a property without permission, even if you have a key to access it.
