Great point. There are 'No Soliciting' signs and laws.

How is this different from when you don't have the sign? Do they get to refuse vacating the property without trespassing in that case?

It's not a black/white situation. It's a 'argue in front of a judge' situation.

With sign: Unassailable evidence that tresspassers are informed they are not welcome.

Without sign. Owner word vs tresspasser word.

The latter is a weaker stance.
