Satellite Dish and Antenna Installation Guidelines:
- Prior Approval from HOA: Before installing a satellite dish, residents are required to check with the HomeOwners Association (HOA), especially if their property falls under a mandatory HOA. Many HOAs mandate obtaining written permission before installation, and the dish must comply with the HOA's rules. Any fines imposed by the HOA due to the installation are the responsibility of the resident.
- Location Requirements:Satellite dishes or antennas must be installed in accordance with the following guidelines: Inside your dwelling. In an area outside your dwelling (e.g., patio, back yard) or any other area exclusively assigned to you per your lease. Installation on roofs, exterior walls, windows, windowsills, or fences is strictly prohibited.
- Removal and Damages: Upon moving out of the dwelling, residents are obligated to: Remove the satellite dish, cable, or antenna, along with all related equipment. Bear the cost of any damages incurred, including repair and repainting expenses reasonably necessary to restore the leased premises to its original condition before the installation of said equipment.
Adhering to these guidelines ensures compliance with property regulations and maintains the overall condition of the leased premises.
