I am an Avon Independent Sales Rep in Shelton, WA. I have been leaving brochures in driveways. Usually I have no problem, but lately some HOAs have been saying it is illegal and I have to go back and pick up every brochure in the neighborhood from the driveways. There was no posted “No Soliciting” sign. Telephone books get left that way all the time. They have paid ads in them. What are my rights here? What if there is a “No Soliciting” sign, does that mean I cannot drop off a brochure?

Of course you can’t, but you know that already.
The law differs depending where you live. Most states have laws that forbid solicitation when signs are posted, but the penalties vary widely. 60% of the states with these laws on the books, solicitation is a misdemeanor. However, multiple offenses could land one in jail. If you see No Solicitation signs, obey them. Why do you think someone who has this sign posted would grant you an exception?
