Does my landlord have the right to tell me what business I must use for my cable, tv, or internet services?

NO, however they can keep the companies from drilling holes into the walls from outside.\n\nIn other words no cable if your home/apt is not hooked up.\n\nPlease read your lease completely...\n\nThe link below is a link to TENANTS RIGHTS HANDBOOK LOOK FOR YOUR STATE..\n\nGOOD-LUCK!

The landlord can ask a tenant to pay for whatever they want.  It's up to YOU if you want to or not.  If you don't, I would suggest looking else where, where it's not included in the lease.

I think you probably can, especially if it is not hardware made specifically for that company (most hardware like that is not specific to an ISP).  You could say to the new company what equipment you do have (make, model) and ask if it is compatible with their DSL.  You may even be able to check on their web site under technical support.

ask someone else who has a business next door...

Call your ISP and ask them. This will vary depending on how your service provider hooks you up to the Internet so it's impossible to tell you for sure.

Mediacom is probably your provider, but Cable Movers is the best resource (see link below) to find out who your cable company is and their current promotions.

Greetings!\n\nYou need to call your city, or town government.  One of the provisions in the franchise agreement given to the cable company is to provide access.\nSome are better, or worse than others at doing it.\nI had a show in Buffalo NY, (Adelphia) and my friend has one in NYC.\nSo go for it.\n\nGood Luck

You're pretty much limited to whatever cable companies provide service to your area.\n\nFor example: Time Warner Cable might have a great package deal, but if you're not in their area, you're out of luck.

Yes, you can order just cable internet. You don't have to buy TV, nor   phone service to get internet from almost all cable companies.

The question is not 'what rights do you have?' its what claims can he make on you and how can these be honored? If the landlord is paid, then the landlord is out of the issue. Without a written contract between you and xbf, there is no course for a court to take. And frankly what court would want to deal with this issue. I  realize it important to you but its a fairly petty matter\nJust walk away

Talk to the CAB about the tenant rights. They will be able to give you the specifics, and they're free!

Yes you should. \n\nIf you share the cable/Internet service with your other roommates, than you are responsible for paying the bill even though you may leave for a month.\n\nYou do not want to put yourself at risk to be sued by the other room mates for unpaid bill charges.\n\nHope this helps.\n\nGod Bless.....

you could get someone elses service if they had a wireless internet connection and keep it unlocked and if you have a wifi adapter. That is the only legal way that I can think of.

Depends on the contract you signed. I'd suggest you read it again. My feeling is that the landlord is responsible for it. But I don't know for sure.

Go to the yahoo search engine and type in the state you are living in and then put in "renters rights".  You will get lots of help there.

Several things, not all and not in order:\n\nWhere are your nearest competitors, do you want to compete head on or open  in an area outside their coverage?\n\nWhat is the maximum you can afford to spend each month and for how long if you make no profit (most new businesses lose money the first 6 months and are out of business the first year).\n\nWill you have employees, what will you pay them? Do you know the added costs with a payroll? Workmen's comp, matched SS, etc.\n\nHow will the accounting be done?\n\nWho  will your suppliers be, will they carry credit?\n\nDo you need a loan to start? The lender will want a detailed projection of costs and income.\n\nWill your lease include utilities or will they be separate?\n\nWill the space need to be remodeled? Lighting and display for fashions is VERY  important? If the space has been vacant for sometime, perhaps the landlord will do some of the remodeling in advance?\n\nIs there a provision in the lease to get out of it if you lose money and must close doors? Can the lease be tied to profit at all? What if you grow and need to get a larger space?\n\nAsk police department about robberies, thefts, break-ins relative to area(s) looking at. Do you need a security system? Does it need to have 24-hour monitoring? Have a button that may be pushed for a silent alarm and police call-out.\n\nHow will you accept payments, what are costs associated with credit card payments?\n\nDo you need storage space? Will the storage be suitable for protecting the items from damage? \n\nAre there changing rooms and bathrooms? You do not want potential cusotmers leaving becauase they have to go elsewhere to use the bathroom.\n\nIs there room for an office and can you monitor the retail space if you are in the office?
