Tenants installed new internet line without permission, what do I

[Fareed Fityan]

Hey BP community,

I've had 2 tenants living in a 3 bedroom apartment for a few months now (a third recently moved out, another is about to move in). I found out today that my 2 tenants ordered a new internet service and had someone come out 2 days ago and installed a new line from the outside. They drilled into the house to install the service and mounted a device on the side of my property. This was all done without my permission. I took pictures and documented everything. 

This violates the lease because it states no repair/changes are to be done to the property without the consent of the landlord. To be honest this is not a huge issue, but the bigger concern is that neither of the 2 tenants communicated anything, or even asked permission to do this. How can I trust tenants who do not communicate or let me know when something is wrong in/on my property?

The tenant who signed up for the new internet service in his name also never responds when I try to communicate and he has disturbed the other tenant several times by playing games late at night and being loud (the lease also states no one should cause disturbances and tenants are
entitled to quiet enjoyment of the premises).

My question is: what action should I take here? If I'm not mistaken I have the right to call the internet company to remove the wiring and patch up the hole they made into my kitchen and if I am charged I can take it out of the security deposit. Since it is a violation of the lease should I take stricter actions?

It's not that big a deal. If done professionally, the hole is small and sealed.

The bigger issue is that your tenant is apparently noisy and disturbing others. That's what you should focus on.
