Many Satellite Dishes On My Roof

[Brian Detlefsen]

I am in the process of buying a 15 unit apartment building. I will be closing in three weeks. There are currently 8 satellite dishes mounted on the asphalt shingle roof. I am including in my lease that dishes are not allowed to be installed on the roof. The current lease has no mention of dishes, etc.

How do I:

(1) Get the 8 dishes that are currently on my roof, off?

(2) How can tenants mount dishes moving forward?

I was thinking of mounting a 4x4 to the front corner of the building, near the white downspout, so that the dishes could be mounted to the 4x4 instead of directly on the roof or siding, etc. The dishes need to be facing South. See pic. Mine is the brown building. As you can see from the pic, the neighbor has them directly on his siding. I absolutely do not want to do this either.

@Brian Detlefsen it's pretty common in apartment complexes to have them pole mounted.
