Political Signs and Activism signs
We own and manage a small apartment building in Northern Idaho. What policies or rules can we enforce on tenants posting political signs or activism signs? We'd like to restrict them to posting one or two signs in windows that are a 12" x 18" or 18"x24" and don't cover up more than 20 percent or 1/5th of the window. Does anyone have policies on signs they're willing to share? We had a tenant hang a political sign up and another tenant wanted to hang up an activist sign so we need a policy. We want to support free speech and expression but restrict tenants from mounting signs in a way that damages the building. Out existing lease does ban hanging anything on the building but we'd like to clarify the language. In 20 or so years of owning and managing the property, this is the first time this has come up.
