Can local or state government, homeowner/condominium associations or landlords restrict installation of small dishes?
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has ruled that state or local laws or regulations, private covenants, homeowners’ association rules, condominium or cooperative association restrictions, lease restrictions, or similar restrictions are invalid if they impair the right of a home or condo owner or renter to receive satellite programming on one or two dishes one meter (39.37 inches) or less in diameter installed on property within the owner or renters exclusive use or control. The satellite dish used is 20 inches or less in diameter. For a person living in a multi-dwelling unit, an area such as a balcony, patio or garden not shared with other tenants would be considered property within the individual’s exclusive use or control. If you feel you are unreasonably being denied the right to install a small satellite dish or dishes, call the FCC’s consumer hotline at 1-888-225-5322 or 1-202-418-7096 to request a copy of the FCC rules and to report any possible violation.
