  • satellite dish in Canada

    From Lu Wei@21:1/5 to All on Tue Sep 19 15:47:13 2023
    I read in a lease contract that they forbid installing satellite dish on balconies. Is it normal in Canada? What is the reason or legal foundation?

    In US: " For example, a lease restriction that forbids tenants from
    damaging the balcony floor when installing an antenna is likely to be permissible." https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/installing-consumer-owned-antennas-and-satellite-dishes

    Hence in US, "damaging the balcony floor"

    What does the lease say?

    Concrete blocks might be used....sitting blocks on the balcony.

    The lease does not give any reason. And I won't fix the dish antenna
    using concrete or anything -- I like to switch satellites.
