Phone line by Jeff (Ca) on February 1, 2016 @15:17

Looking for info about phone land lines. I'm taking over the maintaince for a 4pmex apartment building. I have always heard that a landlord has to have one working phone jack in each unit. Was this true? And now with cell phones is it still true? I have a mess of wires in laundry room where the wires come in. Can I just cut them out or do I need to keep then and try to make the mess look better with a cover?

Any help would be great

http://housing.ucsc.edu/cro/pdf/telephone.pdf I understand it to mean, that at least 1 inside phone jack must be usable if the tenant chooses to order a landline.

True. Provide one phone jack each apartment.
