and they turn-around and leave the neighborhood quickly.

And if this is not true, why don't we make it a rule or law? Nobody wants door-to-door solicitation.
There is an unenforceable rule of no soliciting in The Villages. Some of the gate entrances even have a no soliciting sign. But, there is a Florida State law (501.022) that requires a permit to solicit. However, apparently the law doesn't specify a penalty for soliciting without a permit, so it would be difficult to enforce. However, anyone coming to your property to solicit is required to show you their state permit.
