Before proceeding with the installation, maintenance or replacement of a radio broadcasting or television receiving antenna, or an amateur station transmitting and receiving antenna, or with the connection to a cable network mentioned in article 1 of law no. 66-457 of July 2, 1966 above, the tenant or occupant acting in good faith must inform the owner by registered letter with return receipt requested. A detailed description of the work to be undertaken must be attached to this notification, together with a plan or diagram if necessary, unless the owner has made it impossible to draw up such a plan. The notification must also indicate the nature of the radio broadcasting or television service(s) to be received using the said individual antenna or connection.

If the building is subject to condominium status, the notification is sent to the lessor and the managing agent.

If the property is owned by a company, notification is made to the company's legal representative, and where appropriate to the shareholder who granted the lease.

If the property is undivided, notification is made to one of the undivided co-owners, who is responsible for informing his or her co-owners without delay.

Article 2
Any owner who wishes to object to the installation or replacement of an individual antenna or to the work involved in connecting to a cable network must, on pain of foreclosure, bring the matter before the competent court within three months. In the case of radio broadcasting or television reception, he may, within the same time limit, make a proposal to connect either to a collective antenna or to an internal network within the building connected to a cable network, which provide a collective service, the content and pricing of which are defined by an agreement between landlords and tenants made in application of article 42 of the aforementioned law of December 23, 1986.

If the owner has not made the connection within three months of the connection proposal, the tenant or occupant acting in good faith may proceed with the work covered by the notification provided for in article 1.

Article 3
The share of installation, replacement and maintenance costs that may be collected under article 2 of the aforementioned law is equal to the quotient of the total costs incurred by the total number of connections in the installation. Only those who use their connection are summoned to pay their share of installation costs at the time of connection. Subsequent connections are settled under the same conditions.

Article 4
Complaints relating to the enforcement of the aforementioned law shall be brought before the district court in the place where the property is located, and verdict handed down in accordance with the proceedings in force before that court.
