Since it's an apartment rather than a stand-alone, the presumption is that there is a homeowners association or somesuch that governs shared bylaws and conditions of the whole property of which the apartment or condo is a sub-unit, and therefore they have some controlling power over changes within. But that strikes me as unenforceable. Property is the big cheese in American law. It's sacrosanct and unassailable in so many ways and to have one's property rights so restricted (and by such an arbitrary entity as any arm of the TMO) seems bogus. But I'm way out here in California trying to keep criminals out on the street, so you'll want to take what I say on the subject with a certain amount of caution. Marek
