Is it illegal to post signs on all my neighbors' doors?(in texas)?

Question

i live in an apartment complex, and i want to put a 'missing cat' sign on all my neighbors doors. i think someone might have "adopted" her cuz they think she's a stray. but my husband says its illegal to put signs on peoples' doors unless you hand it right to the person. who's right??

Answer 1

You can't put signs up that advertise a sale or an event in most cities. But you can put it on the door nob.

In your case I doubt they'd consider it an advertisement or a nuisance.

Answer 2

Ask the superintendent of the building; it could be that while posting signs on doors is legal, it might not be the best tactic (you risk annoying your neighbors). You might ask the "super" if posting a notice in common areas such as the laundry, mailboxes or a common room like a gym or clubhouse (common in some complexes) is acceptable. If you cover yourself with the owner/superintendent, you should be good to go.

Maybe also put the word out when you see a neighbor casually. Good luck to you; I'm a pet owner and would do what it takes to get mine back !

Answer 3

If its illegal, I want to sue all the groups that put ads on my door and under the wipers on my car. I would recommend against attaching the sign to the door, but I doubt leaving it their would be an issue.

Answer 4

Do not post signs on their doors. Instead knock on the doors and ask them and show them the flyer. Or post it around the building but not on their doors.

Answer 5

i don't think it's illegal. I'd ask the landlord. She could tell you for sure.
