Do you let renters put dishes on your roof?

Oh you mean satellite dishes. Whew this makes a whole lot more sense now. I was sitting her wondering why in the world tenants are putting plates and cups on the roof. Then the leaking through shingles threw me off because if they handle rain I don't see why a little dripping water would hurt, not that I understood why someone would put them on a roof. Then I thought on a pole was a joke

But I agree with no, on a pole somewhere, it can be close to the house, right up the side.

    Definitely not without explicit permission. I would lean towards not at all unless there's a good spot for it that isn't through your roof shingles.

    Google "dish install roof leak"

    Nope. I require dishes to be installed on a pole somewhere, never on one of my roofs.

    As a general rule rooftop dinner parties should probably be discouraged as well.
