I always did it when I lived out there. Lived in a complex for two years and constantly grilled on my small propane grill right outside my front door and never heard so much as a single complaint.

I think this is illegal.

Section 19 of a standard TAA lease states that you can not cook on your balcony. It doesn't mention why, but every apartment I've ever lived in had me sign an addendum stating that I understood I was not to use a grill on my balcony due to it being a fire hazard.

Local fair housing officials say the rules may be unusual, but they are not illegal.
"Refusing to rent to somebody because they have tattoos may be unfair, but it's not discrimination under the fair housing act, unless the tattoos are specific to the person's religion or national origin," says Sandy Tamez of the San Antonio Fair Housing Council.

If it's not a covered patio/porch, I don't think they enforce it like they should.

Where I lived before, I watched a 4-story apartment building in my neighborhood burn to the ground because someone's balcony grill had a loose connection between the propane tank and the burner. The grill wasn't turned on and the grill owner wasn't even home at the time. That convinced me to never live in an apartment or condo that allowed grills on the balcony.

After that happened, the apartment complex enacted a no-grills policy.
