Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California
Apartment complex prevents tenets from obtaining outside services
My wife and I recently moved into an
apartment complex and discovered
that our decisions on cable services
were limited.
Instead of getting a package deal
that would save us money from
another provider, our complex only
provided a service by Adelphia, which
prevented us from obtaining a
different cable service. After calling
other compaines in the area it seems
this complex has prevented outside
services from being obtainable by
tenants.
I'm just curious if this is a legal
practice. We were never told of this
verbaly, nor is it in our contract.

Re: Apartment complex prevents tenets from obtaining outside services
It is legal.
In many areas with competing cable companies. the cable companies divided the territory geographically. Also, if you are in a condominium, their rules and regulations permit them to deal with one certain cable company.
The government generally gives a cable company lots of extra perks.
