What is Trespassing?
To trespass is to encroach on someone else's property without a valid reason to be on the premises, and after you have been warned to stay off of the property. A simple "no trespassing" sign will suffice as a caution.
What is the Penalty for Trespassing in RI?
For trespassing on private recreational facilities (such as a golf course or beach) in Rhode Island, you could be fined hundreds of dollars. If someone is charged with trespassing on school property, whether it is a private elementary school or state university, the penalties could be as heavy as a $500 fine and a 6-month jail sentence; not to mention the permanent record of a criminal conviction to complicate every job and loan application. For other charges of willful trespass, the penalties could include a $1,000 fine, and 1 year in jail in addition to this serious record.

Is Trespassing a Felony in Rhode Island?
In Rhode Island, the answer to the question of whether trespassing is a felony depends on intent. Generally speaking, if a person enters another’s property without permission and does not cause any harm or cause any damage, it is usually considered a misdemeanor crime.
However, if the trespasser has malicious or criminal intent in mind – for example, if someone is trying to break into someone’s house – then it can be considered a felony offense. Depending on the severity of the trespass and the circumstances of the act itself, a person can face jail time for felonies related to trespassing in RHODE ISLAND Code 11-8-2.
