If you ask the carrier, the answer (if you can get one at all) is:
Ours. You no use. And it prompts them to get their legal house in
order. Not a good strategy.

Get the owner's permission in writing and double-check it with the
county recorder's office (or whatever it's called in your state). If
the ILEC recorded an easement then you're out of luck. If there's no
recorded easement or a defective easement then you can get away with
it. Even if they have a signed document, they can't just go after you,
they have to go after the landlord, and the money they'd recover is
never worth making an enemy of the landlord.
