The rule applies to individuals who place antenna that meet size limitations on property that they own or rent and that is within their exclusive use or control, including condominium owners and cooperative owners, and tenants
The rule applies to the patio but you cannot affix the dish to the building or it’s components. For instance I have a patio but to get a clear signal DirecTV needs to affix the dish to the overhead beams above my patio but that is considered part of the building, not part of the area I am renting, and the apt. regulations do not allow it, they say due to their insurance regulations. I can’t use a stand because the overhead beams obstruct the signal.
