The complex has clearly posted that no solicitation is  allowed; however, I&#8217;m not sure if this falls in that category. Aside  from the fact that I am not at all religious, I don&#8217;t think that the  (majority of) other tenants take kindly to a book about people being  brutally slain. Ironically, it&#8217;s Sunday and the offices are closed, so I  am intending to call tomorrow. Is there anything else that can be done?  Or is this completely up to the complex? There is a parent company of  the complex I could contact, but I&#8217;m not sure if that would be very  effective.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Thanks for any advice you can provide<\/em>!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This reminds me of the time I shoved Anti-Halloween Jesus tracts in my neighbors&#8217; mailboxes.
