Re: Yea so
The property owner or their agent has to give permission for the initial installation of the cable line (or satellite dish for that matter) for liability reasons. That has nothing to do with this ruling. |

You are correct, but the manager can put limits on it - such as the dish cannot go on the roof, or the top of the dish cannot extend past the roof, etc... |

Or cannot be attached to specific parts of the property, especially "common areas." |

I mounted my dish to a fence post that I then planted in a 5 gallon bucket full of quikrete. It was never attached to the building and entirely within my small balcony at the time so the management never had any reason to give me grief. |

The limits they can put on them is defined in the law. The landlord cannot modify these limits regardless of what they want. |

1 edit | said by Skippy25 :The limits they can put on them is defined in the law. The landlord cannot modify these limits regardless of what they want. Actually we can. The law does not apply to a lease signed by the tenant, it which case you can include such language that makes it so you can't have dishes at all.
We do in some apartments/condos we have simply because having a dish at all would require more effort than its worth (roof mounted, long cable runs under ground, etc).
This ruling does nothing for most of rural areas anyways, since no such contracts existed in the first place with providers. Even then, only one provider is around.  |

I find it very surprising - and almost unbelievable - that a lease or a contract could trump law, even in the US. Around here, the law overrides any illegal language in a lease. As an example, if a landlord put a "No Pets" clause in a lease up here, it's void, as the law specifically protects a tenant's right to have a pet. If they include fees for things that are more than what are defined under law, they're also illegal and unenforceable, etc.
