"occupant" if the person giving the notice is not the holder of legal
title but is a lawful occupant of the land. Proof that appropriate
signs as herein provided were erected or in existence upon the premises
to be protected within six months prior to the event complained of
shall be prima facie proof that the premises to be protected were
posted as herein provided.

176-23 without obtaining the express consent of the lawful occupant of or holder of legal title to such land is subject to a forfeiture not to exceed $500.

housing shall have the right to decide who may enter, confer and visit
with him in the housing area he occupies.

revisions or modifications are made to the statutes.

default of payment of such forfeiture and costs, shall be subject
to imprisonment in the county jail until such forfeiture and cost
