Cable Wire Hanging from Roof - What the #$%&?

[Michael Germinario]

Hi BP!

I noticed a cable/wire hanging off my roof yesterday and I think its connected to a Direct TV satellite dish.  It looks awful and I want it removed.  My question is could this cable be anything else, or is it definitely connected to the dish on the roof?

I don't see the point for a cable TV/Internet provider to run cable on a rooftop, but maybe I'm wrong...

Also, can this cost be deducted from my tenant's security deposit as part of the moving out policy (ie. "must leave in same condition as delivered, less ordinary wear and tear")

Thanks in advance for your help!

Mike

@Michael Germinarioa cable "entertainment" wire only has one use. It's for cable or dish service.

Yes, should not need to wait for collect repair damages. Check you lease clauses.

If you make a deal with tenant to use some of their deposit, that would be a mis use unless this is a single family home. Either way, document, document, document.
