I don't know how thrilled the landlord would be about installing
an outdoor aerial, so I was thinking more indoor. Naturally the
line of sight would be greater with something on the roof. Maybe
if I catch the owner on a good day...

I'd think the smart thing for your landlord to do would be to put
his own antenna on the roof, with a distribution amp feeding all the
apartments. Wouldn't cost him much, and he'd avoid having all the
tenants wanting to install their own.

The law says you can put one up not attached to the roof.


our tenants usually attach them to vent pipes

Thanks for all of the suggestions. Since the landlord has the first dollar
he's ever made, I think the magic words will be "I'll cover it." I have a
feeling it'll be a go after that. ;)

Any small UHF antenna may work. That is if its a UHF station.
For that short of distance a small or mid sized outdoor radio shack
antenna might be in order. Try it in the attic, if it works, fine if
not you can still try to use it outdoors. You may need a matching
transformer at the antenna if you use the RG-6 type coax.

Good Luck,
