Looks like the FCC already comments on this: Q: Are there restrictions that can be placed on residents of rental property?
A: Yes. A restriction necessary to prevent damage to leased property may be reasonable. For example, tenants could be prohibited from drilling holes through exterior walls or through the roof. However, a restriction designed to prevent ordinary wear and tear (e.g., marks, scratches, and minor damage to carpets, walls and draperies) would likely not be reasonable provided the antenna is installed wholly within the antenna user's own exclusive use area. In addition, rental property is subject to the same protection and exceptions to the rule as owned property. Thus, a landlord may impose other types of restrictions that do not impair installation, maintenance or use under the rule. The landlord may also impose restrictions necessary for safety or historic preservation. So NPRM + a window sounds like the other options besides concrete bucket in the yard. By the way, I had a concrete bucket on my patio in one of my early apartments for directv just for this reason. :-) -Hal On Tue, Mar 17, 2015 at 1:57 PM, Seth Mattinen <[email protected]> wrote: > On 3/17/15 10:37, Travis Johnson wrote: > >> Installing a J-mount (drilling holes in a roof) and cable penetration >> (drilling a hole in the side of the house) is DEFINITELY damage to the >> property.
