Re: Yea so
The limits they can put on them is defined in the law. The landlord cannot modify these limits regardless of what they want. |

The law does not apply to a lease signed by the tenant, it which case you can include such language that makes it so you can't have dishes at all.
We do in some apartments/condos we have simply because having a dish at all would require more effort than its worth (roof mounted, long cable runs under ground, etc).
This ruling does nothing for most of rural areas anyways, since no such contracts existed in the first place with providers. Even then, only one provider is around.  |

I find it very surprising - and almost unbelievable - that a lease or a contract could trump law, even in the US. Around here, the law overrides any illegal language in a lease. As an example, if a landlord put a "No Pets" clause in a lease up here, it's void, as the law specifically protects a tenant's right to have a pet. If they include fees for things that are more than what are defined under law, they're also illegal and unenforceable, etc.
