I asked him why he still had cable if he couldn't afford to make his house payment.

You have to inventory everything at movein/out, deal with stained table tops and upholstery, and repair/replacement when a tv or other appliance dies during a rental term.Vacation rentals OTOH, must have everything...linens, flatware, small appliances, probably cable and phone, etc. etc. but in theory you get a substantially higher rate for that type of unit.

A landlord may not interfere with the installation of cable television facilities.Is this right?

I returned his message by telling him I had left some things in the mailbox( a ring and some keys) and that I had left his cable boxes in the trash can for him to pick up and return to the cable company.

The more money they have, the more likely they will be able to pay you, after they pay for their 2 new cars, cable bill, kids new clothes, fast food, and everything else.

My tenants have the latest Iphones, the $200/month cable tv plan, a 73" tv, new car in the garage, etc.

You might be better off using an eviction service.They will be cheaper and go to court for you and handle the trashing out and serving of the eviction.You won't find an attorney getting dirty they will just shuffle papers and show up in court.In fact I have had judges rule against attorneys and enjoyed our cases much more as we were on the ball.Some attorneys feel "special" just because they hold a law license and are below par in their performance.I tell them the eviction is filed regardless of promise of payment.I tell them you can always pay at the court hearing and I can drop the case.If you don't you will get stories like I can pay you 600 and get caught up this week and then you hear stuff like I only have 300 because such and such happened.Then they get further and further behind.They need to pay me in full and go cold with the utilities,or do without internet,cell phone,cable..

Reduce gov't waste, legalize drugs, and make sure those who are receiving welfare are not using it to pay for cable TV, cigarettes, and iphones.

Even in untreated lumber, like joists, you may get twisting and lose structural integrity.Electrical connections don't like water, especially salt water, that includes low voltage circuits as well, HVAC controll, security wiring, door bell, cable and phone.....all wiring.
