Justin R. Ugly Satellite Dishes on Apartments
12 July 2020 | 18 replies
Need to have the tenant understand since they effectively hired the installer as their agent.The communications providers have lobbied hard to prevent building owners, HOAs, cities, etc from preventing the installation of dishes, but there are "reasonable" restrictions on installation. https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/installing-consumer-owned-antennas-and-satellite-dishes Also some food for thought, foreign-born tenants will probably want satellite no matter what else is there since their native programming isn't available on cable.

Sam Leon mobile carrier reception for your properties

The higher end phones aren't just more expensive because of advertising and bigger screens, they use higher quality antennas and use engineers instead of interns to make sure the antennas work.That said, in your position, I'd be wary and if you do decide to rent to them, make sure they understand that wireless reception is not a guarantee in your lease.

Wesley W. Tenant screening questions
10 September 2015 | 21 replies
She is sending her husband (who lives locally) and her mother (the section 8 caller) to inspect the apartment.Being the perpetual cynic, my antennae are up for a bait-and-switch with the younger couple qualifying for the apartment, but then the mom moves in.Another part of the plot: that property (but not that unit) has a section 8 tenant, so the housing authority has me and the property in their system.

For TV, maybe you provide a coaxial cable from each unit to some central location at the development... if the tenant wants cable TV, that cable gets plugged into the cable TV company's plant; if they don't, maybe that cable gets plugged into a plain old TV antenna on the roof of the office.
