Recent Boston College Grad Has Questions About Antenna Installation at Her Apartment Complex?7/19/2012 Kerri, from Boston, MA, recently ventured out on her own and is on a tight budget. She wants to have access to television programming, but isn’t sure she wants the hassle of a monthly cable bill. Here is the question she emailed to us.
“I am a recent college graduate and a first-time renter. My complex is able to receive service from our local cable company, but when I called to inquire about subscription pricing I was astounded to discover that I would have to choose between paying my car insurance each month and having TV. A friend suggested that I ask my complex to install a rooftop antenna, but I don’t know how to approach my landlord. Can I really ask them to install an antenna just so I can get free TV?” Kerri, Boston This question brings to mind the saying, “You won’t know if you don’t ask.” That is exactly true in this situation. It is true that your landlord does not have to comply with your request to erect an antenna on his or her property, but here are some points you can make to strengthen your request.
If your landlord still doesn’t seem sold on the idea, you could consider installing an antenna yourself at your own cost. For more information on renters installing their own rooftop antennas, click here.
