Q: Does my landlord have the right to post campaign signs in my front yard?
A: If you live in his house, definitely yes, If you ae renting a separate house and he places a sign in your lawn without your consent, that is a tricky one. It is still his house but you rent the dwelling and he can argue the yard is his. Does the lease give him any rights to post any signs? my guess is not, however, it would be interested to test that policy. You want to get along with your landlord or give him a piece of your mind. If the latter, write him a letter telling him you do not wish those signs in your yard and to please remove them within 48 hours. if he does not, then call the police and tell them your landlord is trespassing in your yard and you want those posters removed. Best of luck. Do not do self-help. It is never a good idea.
