    The rule applies to individuals who place antennas that meet size limitations on property that they own or rent and that is within their exclusive use or control, including condominium owners and cooperative owners, and tenants who have an area where they have exclusive use, such as a balcony or patio, in which to install the antenna. The rule applies to townhomes and manufactured homes, as well as to single family homes.
    Since we don't have balconies or patios I'm guessing that would be their argument, I'll check into this further though.

    From the next paragraph,

    The rule allows local governments, community associations and landlords to enforce restrictions that do not impair the installation, maintenance or use of the types of antennas described above, as well as restrictions needed for safety or historic preservation. Under some circumstances where a central or common antenna is available, a community association or landlord may restrict the installation of individual antennas. The rule does not apply to common areas that are owned by a landlord, a community association, or jointly by condominium or cooperative owners where the antenna user does not have an exclusive use area. Such common areas may include the roof or exterior wall of a multiple dwelling unit. Therefore, restrictions on antennas installed in or on such common areas are enforceable.

    This has been quite an education.

    Now I realize how poor I am.

    Well, I was close on the year and it looks like the law was amended several times. I (somewhat) remember because I was living in an apartment at the time the law was being discussed. Originally, all we had were shared OTA antennas on the roof. Reception was lousy because we were in a valley. The apartment complex went through and installed free cable to every flat free of charge. The only channels I didn't get were the xxx premium. I guess it was bribery since every apartment had a patio or balcony.

    Yeah, that does sound like bribery, giving everyone free cable. I live in a subsidized building, that would be a nice perk, our rent is 30% of whatever our income is.

    My cable bill is getting close to what I pay in rent though.

    Yeah, that was the "good ole days". :) My ground floor apartment was about 50' from the pool. We had a work-out gym full of equipment, sauna, hot tub and showers. But there were only 3 washers and 3 dryers per building. I usually went to laundry place up the road. That was back when I worked out every other day and ran 5 miles a day. That seems so long ago now. :)

    title should read 'Acquire', not 'Acquite'.. how does one change a thread title?
    Only the thread starter (me) or the moderators/admins can change a thread title.
