Executive Summary
Apartment owners can pursue cable and internet access revenue through transparent, nonexclusive agreements that preserve resident choice.
Resident Choice Remains Central
A compliant agreement should not require residents to switch providers or interfere with their existing accounts. Residents continue choosing and paying providers directly.
Review Marketing Rights
Carriers may request specific marketing rights. The agreement should state what is permitted, how residents may be contacted, and which building areas may be used for approved materials.
Understand the Agreement Term
Agreement length and renewal language vary by carrier. Owners should review the complete document before signing and decide whether the proposed terms fit the property.
Qualification Varies by Carrier
Minimum building size depends on the carrier and market. Spectrum buildings often qualify at 20 or more units. Comcast typically requires about 50 to 60 units. Optimum typically requires about 75 units. Larger buildings of 75 units or more qualify with the widest range of carriers.
