The apartment I am renting comes with all utilities included and he does not want me to add any services to the property even if it’s pole mounted. Sadly I am losing my Directv for the same reason. 😭
Because you most likely have areas that are considered exclusive use, the landlord can't prevent installation of the dish, so unlikely the ETF can be waived. Regardless of what he/she wants, they can't legally prevent installation as the F.C.C. allows residential users to use that space for those objects.
However, if LOS can't be established from those areas, or you don't have a porch or patio like area that is exclusive use to you, then chances are the fee can be waived.
