Yes, but does this FCC ruling mean that any lease clauses that impose 
this kind of restriction are unenforceable?

starting to happen a little more in suburban commercial leasing

Could this end up in court. This probably falls under the same legal 
area as the FCC's crackdown on cell-phone jammers in theaters and fancy 
restaurants... you're just not allowed to interfere with with wireless 
communications anywhere, anytime unless the FCC says its ok.

Contracts can often be much more restrictive than the law, but they 
can't contradict or pre-empt existing laws.

this was totally different - more about opening a competitive front to 
cable tv and the right to put antennas on roofs of co-ops and rental 
apartment buildings (which you do have the inalienable right i believe)

I recall there was a debate a few years ago about tenents being able to
put up DTV satilites. This was ok'd. So, I cant see why they wouldn't  
allow
you to send/recieve dtv and not allow you to send/recieve wifi or for
that matter broadcast tv or radio.

Remember that harmful interference isn't defined in the unlicensed 
bands.   Heh heh.
