I'm in a dispute with my landlord over a Direct TV satellite dish. He is telling me I have to take it down in 2 weeks or he will remove it himself and bill me for the removal, because its against "the rules". In my lease it mentions nothing about Direct TV restrictions or satellite dish installation, they also never gave me any notice about a change in rules when they purchased the building a little over a year ago. The old owners told me I could install a DTV system if I wanted to, also. And on top of all that, someone else in the building has a system too! The only real beef he can have is that I put it on the roof, which could be resolved by him asking me to move it.
So my question to you, if you know if I have a legal right to keep my dish and stop him from touching it, and what form of action I can take? Can I have a lawyer call him and let him know I am aware of my rights as a tenant and not some idiot of the street who can be told to take it down or else, like I'm a child? I just figured I ask your advice on what type of move I can make.
