I rent a house, with yard, etc. My landlord just came by (I was home) she did not knock at my door or ask permission to place the two signs in my yard which advertise “we buy and sell houses” with a number.
Is this allowed legally. I am in Pennsylvania. Thanks for your help!
I have never ever been late, and I have lived in this property for over three years. The house is kept very neat and the yard is always clean.
My lease does not mention advertisements/signs.

Landlord is no longer allowed to use a space when it is already rented.

He owns the land….you rent the house. He can do whatever he wants….including selling his property right out from under you….the renter. Without notice. Here’s a heads up…..if he’s selling your house or apartment building…..start looking for another place to live.

You rent, she owns. She can do whatever she wants with the house that you rent off of her. With proper notice, she can inspect whenever she wants. She can sell the property anytime she wants. And yes, she can put gawdy advertisement signs in front of “her” house.
You can ask her to remove them. You never know, if you are a valued renter, she might take them elsewhere. On the other hand, if you are consistantly late with your rent payment or the place is a pig sty, you may want to continue looking at the gawdy signs.

In the US generally–If you rented the entire premises, including the yard, you are entitled to “quiet enjoyment” and exclusive possession of the premises.
Although the landlord has rights to inspect the property, enter onto the property with proper notice to you to inspect or repair, or enter the property in an emergency, the landlord generally does not have the right to use the rented property for anything else during your lease term.
(For those that think otherwise–If the law allows the landlord to post signs, then why couldn’t they also board their Aunt Bee in the spare bedroom? They can’t.)
But if you did not lease the entire property, including the yard, or your contract specifically gives the landlord the right to post signs, that’s a different story.
This is a general answer and specific laws in your state may vary.

If you have a lease, read it. If you don’t, negotiate one.
