Re: Any wireless cell phone repeater systems out there? If the outdoor antenna cannot be properly installed without drilling a hole the burden of proof is on the landlord that OTARD does not cover this. OTARD sides with the consumer in most cases, the landlord cannot require the antenna be removed until the FCC makes their decision. Its pretty cut and dry. |

quote:
Q: If I live in a condominium or an apartment building, does this rule apply to me?
A: The rule applies to antenna users who live in a multiple dwelling unit building, such as a condominium or apartment building, ... For example, the rule would not apply to restrictions that prevent drilling through the exterior wall of a condominium or rental unit and thus restrictions may prohibit installation that requires such drilling.

And it would be reasonable to assume that mounting an antenna by partially screwing in a screw into a wall would still be considered a wall penetration. |

| when is someone gonna invent window coax that works with cell repeater systems or even direct connect systems? |

Burden of proof? The lease stated "NO HOLES". My lease was very clear and now the tenant is being evicted. I have a very strong lease, 6 legal pages of small print written and backed by one of the largest landlord organizations in the country. It stands up in court. This has nothing to do with whether it is single or multi-family. The tenant still must abide by the lease. |

The only way I know is to build a gap filler that goes between the bottom of the window and the bottom of the window opening. You can make it out of metal, laminated wood, phenolic, or fiberglass. It needs to have properly align and machined surfaces so it fits snugly against the existing surfaces. Usually it needs weatherproof seals attached. It has to have the correct connectors installed, so that the coax from the antenna can be detached from the gap filler separately from the coax that goes to the modem, set top box, or television. You will also need to raise up or lower the window latching device on the other part of the window with a shim block and longer bolts. If you are renting and leave the place, you disconnect the coax cables, remove the gap filler, take out the shim block, screw the latching device back in, clean up the area, and no harm done to the property. If you are really careful to match the materials and coatings, a relatively thin gap filler will blend in with the rest of the window. From a short distance it will look like you have the window raised slightly. You do not want to raise it too much, as from a long distance it will look like an open window and will invite thieves to attack it as a possible entrance point that they can get into without breaking the glass. |
