My absolute bugbear! I now have in my lease a whole paragraph about satellite dish installation or cable tv installation in my rentals. A few years back I had a female tenant sign a document from the satellite tv company in which she represented herself as the owner of the property. The installers then when and ripped down all my existing cabling, drilled new holes through the exterior of the house (even though there were holes where they ripped out the other cabling), slung cables across the roof (against code). They even left their garbage, including coke cans, lying around the yard. She got charged the cost of replacing all the cabling, fixing holes and painting, etc. etc. She wasn't happy. I told her to sue the installers since they did the damage and my contract was with her and her contract said she couldn't change anything in the house without my written permission. The installers told her to get lost because she signed a paper saying she was the owner of the house and gave them permission to make changes. Get things fixed and bill them. If they don't pay up, give them three day notice.
