This reminds me of a new management rule at a complex I lived in. Didn't affect me, and I was already moving in couple of months when they took over, but I remember wondering about it. The rule was concerniing satellite dish set ups. They were still allowing them, but the new rule (for existing and new) was that the pole could no longer be on the grassy area, they must be cemented into a bucket, and placed on the "patio", which was a 3ft square of concrete at the back door. I wondered if the dish companies would even allow this, and how they could expect existing tenants to go buy a bucket & cement and dig up their pole to reset it. Just curious, does anyone know if this would actually be held up if someone fought it? Those poles are not the tenants property, and I can't imagine the satellite company saying, sure, we'll supply buckets & cement for you.
If you are on a month to month they can implement new rules with a 30 day notice. If you re on a lease agreement they can do it when a lease is renewed.

its very common here to mount the dishes in a bucket - many dish installers here have either buckets like that or weighted "sleds" on the truck & available for those situations.. as for digging up the existing pole, that would be different..
My dishwasher caught on fire while I was home (well, a whole lot of smoke before I turned it off); I never leave any appliance running if I am not there (well, only the fridge is running).
AC, heat, and hot water heater are generally not considered appliances.
Honestly, they are covering their butts as pointed out. This way, if you leave your door unlocked and someone breaks in, you can't go back to them and say they should have provided better security.
Same with the appliances. If something does happen, its on you, because you were told to turn them off.
For the other post about Sat Dishes, that is a completely legitimate demand. By law, you are only allowed to place a dish in an area, like a balcony, that is your exclusive use, unless they give permission. It sounds like the previous owner/manager let people install dishes off their rented premises and now there is a dish farm the group want to get rid of. Most of the time, while the receivers are rented, the dish and pole are your property. Some installers will go ahead and do the bucket mount for free and some make you pay. There are also other ways to mount a dish non-permanently.

I was not aware that this kind of installation was common in some areas. Just for clarity, there was no "dish farm". Anyone who used satellite had the pole in the grass near their back entrance. I figured they did it mostly for ease of keeping up the grounds, not having to trim grass around them. I found it amusing that the 3ft square of walkway from the back doors was now designated as the "patio". Not like there was room to do much but walk on it, lol. However, they did specify that they were to be put into a bucket with cement, not allowing for any other type of non-permanent set up. Never had satellite myself, so not familiar with the rules or laws. Learn something new every day
Dishwashers & Clother washer LOL CAN Flood Dryers are Fire hazzardes & Leving door unlocked Invites Stealling In Short YOU Dont Comply the LL Will Not be responsible to fix damages! & Will Evict You! BUT Why would you leave things running or your door unlocked when your not home?
Tell them to mitigate the risk of water damage, you leave your door unlocked so someone can turn off the appliance. Seriously my friend's house caught fire inside the walls due to the dryer or electrical. If you are not around to smell the small, the next indicator is flames which is too late. I know of another dishwasher also going up in smoke, not just leaking. Just due to smoke damage and soot a lot needed to be repainted and replaced , this stuff is no joke and in an apartment especially a taller one, you put a lot of people at risk.

That doesn't sound too bad. This is what I was talking about that happens sometimes.
