Third, if they come onto your property uninvited, and you have to ask them to leave, then they have already trespassed, by coming onto your property uninvited. That IS trespassing. That's the very definition. Going where you aren't invited. I shouldn't have to tell a trespasser to get off my property, in order to have the encounter qualify as a trespass. The fact that they got to my door is qualification enough.

Florida is actually LAX on the definition of trespass, and requires the owner to object after the fact. That protects the trespasser, not the homeowner.
Not even close to the facts.

BTW - How many times does it have to be pointed out that the no soliciting 'rule' is unenforceable?

The Villages doesn't have a rule against "Soliciting". Even if they did, the only place it would be enforceable, is in the neighborhoods of Villas where the "roads"/driveways are not public.


Here is just about all you need to know about who can and can't solicit and who needs a permit to do it.
