Hello:
I live in a rental apartment in the city of Toronto. About 4 years ago I was granted permission by my building super to install a satellite dish.
Since that time the building has recently changed to another management company since the building was bought by a new owner.
Today I received a letter from my landlord indicating that I must remove my satellite dish. The letter states the following:
"In a recent building inspection don by the City of Toronto Property standard inspector, it was observed that many satellite dishes have been attached to balcony rails and/or building walls. It has been ordered by the City to have all satellite dishes removed."
When I look on the web for city of Toronto I cannot find anything about a regulation that says you cannot install a satellite dish on your rental apartment. The only information I can find is that you must be granted permission to install the satellite dish or it must be stated in the lease that a dish cannot be installed. Our lease is more then 15 years old and does not state that we cannot install a satellite dish.
I would like to know if there really is in fact a bylaw in the city of Toronto that is outlawing instalation of satellite dishes on multiple unit dewelings. We live on the 6th floor of a 14 floor apartment building. The dish is mounted to the wall of the unit and cannot be seen easily from the ground.
Any help or a link to an official policy website would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.
