(a) An owner or operator of an apartment building, condominium, nursing home or any other rental or other multiple-dwelling unit facility ("owner/operator") may not interfere with, or charge a fee for, the installation of cable facilities for the use of a lessee of said property or premises, except that such owner or operator may require that:
(1) Installation of cable facilities conform to reasonable conditions necessary to protect the safety, appearance and functioning of the premises;
(2) The grantee, occupant or tenant pay for the installation, operation or removal of such facilities; or
(3) The grantee, occupant or tenant agree to indemnify the owner or operator for any damages caused by the installation, operation or removal of such facilities.
(b) A landlord may not discriminate in the amount of rent charged to tenants or occupants who receive cable television services and to those who do not. This shall not, however, preclude an owner/operator from incorporating the receipt of cable television services as a factor in determining the rent or other charges for a particular dwelling unit.
(c) A grantee may not take actions which would interfere with the privilege of any tenant or other occupant of any such building to use master or individual antenna equipment. This chapter shall not prohibit, however, the ability of a grantee to enter into an exclusive contract with an owner/operator for a fixed period of time.
