New Satellite Dish Rules

We have several satellite dishes on our property that have been installed incorrectly. There are dishes that have damaged roofs and siding. There are numerous dishes that have remained on the property well after the resident with the service moved out.

We are amending our lease with regards to satellite dishes and antennas in accordance with FCC Regulations. The amendment follows below and it has been sent to every resident via email.

Moving forward, we need to know which residents are currently using satellite. We will be doing a clean sweep of the property to remove ALL satellite dishes, cables and make any necessary repairs due to improper installation. This will be a long process and we intend on starting in May. 

If you do not use satellite, you need to do nothing. However, if you are currently using satellite, you must email dishestwinponds@gmail.com with SATELLITE in the subject line no later than April 1, 2020. The email needs to contain your name, apartment number and your satellite provider’s name.

If you have satellite, you will also need to contact your provider and have them relocate your satellite according to the enclosed lease amendment. This must be done by May 1, 2020.

If we do not receive an email from you, your dish will be removed, and your service will be interrupted. Please act now. If you wish to then reinstate service, it will be at your cost and it must be done according to the enclosed amendment.
