Will help explain it.

btw the FCC ruled back in 1990s renters CAN put up a TV antenna or small dish.

"The rule (47 C.F.R. Section 1.4000) has been in effect since October 1996, and it
prohibits restrictions that impair the installation, maintenance or use of antennas used to receive video programming. The rule applies to video antennas including direct-to-home satellite dishes that are less than one meter (39.37") in diameter (or of any size in Alaska), TV antennas, and wireless cable antennas. The rule prohibits most restrictions that: (1) unreasonably delay or prevent installation, maintenance or use; (2) unreasonably increase the cost of installation, maintenance or use; or (3) preclude reception of an acceptable quality signal.
Effective January 22, 1999, the Commission amended the rule so that it
also applies to rental property where the renter has an exclusive use area, such as a balcony or patio."
You DO have a choice.
