"Not according to the Federal Communications Commission. The government protects your right to have a satellite dish as long as it's under a meter in diameter. (A meter is 39.37 inches). Since January 1999, the Over-the-Air Reception Devices Rule includes renters."

Yes, BUT...that only applies to apartments or townhomes where you can place an antenna or dish in a location that you have exclusive use of or control over. It doesn't allow you to put a dish in a common area of the building, like the roof. The FCC has a nice fact sheet detailing the ins-and-outs of dish and antenna placements in apartments and townhouses.
