What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA
I'm the renter of a single family home in Chico, California and my landlord wants me to remove my satellite dish. I currently have Direct TV and the dish is mounted on the roof above the driveway. The landlord first asked that I relocate the dish so that its not attached to the roof, but the DTV technicians said it could not be placed anywhere else on the property without losing signal - there are a lot of trees.
By imposing the above regulations on where I can/can not post my satellite, my landlord is in effect prohibiting me from having DTV and forcing me to switch to another cable service. Can they do this???
I looked up the FCC's rules and regulations here: Section
I interpret them to say I'm in the right, b/c there is absolutely no other place to put the dish, but I would like more feedback.
*Note: This morning a service truck showed up at my house with a work order granting him permission to remove the dish without my knowledge(Thankfully I was able to get rid of him before he got on the roof). Is that allowed?? I'm considering petitioning my case, but this is the first time I've ever had to deal with litigation and legal issues.
