I would not leave anything with knocking or without. Those hangers have your full information( and your broker's, if you have one~ at least, this is required in CA), people will complain and many can a get a wrong idea about you and your company. 'No Soliciting' means no flayers, no salespeople, no free samples, no anything. It's not worth the risk.

Legal or not, you're soliciting aren't you? That would be a sure way for an agent to guarantee I would never hire them since they can't read or follow simple instructions. Some counties here require solicitors to have a license.

You may check with city hall regarding the legality.  I would just do it until I was told to stop.

One good way to find out, start distributing flyers, some will object, but many will be fine with it.

If management kicks you out, that is fine, just apologize and move on to the next building.

I'm not up on Georgia law, but I highly doubt that there would be any penal codes against it.  Check with your legal counsel or your state's legal hotline or the local cops for the best advice.

 

Personally I see "No Solicitation" signs just like "No outside food or drink" signs at movie theaters.  Unless they have a way of enforcing it, it is just a sign on a wall and totally useless.

 

I have friends who have "no junk mail" type signs on their mailbox.  USPS doesn't care and still delivers the junk mail.  If a former federal agency doesn't care...

Not sure it would rise to the level of illegal. It sure would tick a bunch of people off, though. Not a good way to generate business.

Try direct mail.

Like many have said, I would think that no soliciting means "don't come onto the property".

It's probably not illegal, but it can certainly result in fines.

Nattalie - You don't want to get on the bad side of anyone, so I would check with the apartment complex first. I would imagine "no solicitation" would also include no door hangers.

Nattalie Cornwall the sign is there for a reason, I guess.

Now if you want to bypass and still knock, it's up to you. Sometimes it works!

Should you take risk for that? Again, you are the best judge.

You would need to check the local laws, state or provincial laws, federal laws and laws, bylaws and regulations of any other applicable jurisdictions, applicable court cases and possibly other sources for the location where you intend to hang the door hangers.  You should consider seeking appropriate legal advice.

From a non legal..ask your state board for the "real answer" ...I would classify this as solicitation.
