Actually you could :)

the FCC ruled that a landlord couldn't limit your choices if:

- The dish is on your own rented property (balcony, railing, etc)
- It's on property that's in "your exclusive use". so you could hang it 
out your window since nobody can use that space except for you. I was 
going to do this at my Cypress St. apartment before I moved.
- You don't cause any damage to the property without first getting 
permission from the landlord (drilling into siding, etc)

there are a number a various non-penetrating mounts. If you are on the 
ground floor you might be able to get away with the "poll in a bucket 
filled with cement"
