For everyone who faces this here are the general rules:
In an apartment rental situation, your dish must be fully on space you have exclusive control over like a single non-shared balcony or porch. It can't project beyond your space. This is easily dealt with by mounting it to a self standing pole or cinder blocks.
You can't mount to their railing, fence, or building.
You can't drill through their walls. They have special pass-through cables that can be shut in a window or door.
The landlord can't ask you to do anything that significantly increases the cost of the installation or delays it. So, if they say it must not be visible and there is no inexpensive solution, it's an unenforceable rule.
They can't require special insurance like renters insurance unless they require it for all tenants who have property on their exclusive use space.
If they don't want you to have a dish, but you are following the rules, the burden is ON THEM to get a ruling from the FCC, not you. They can not remove the dish if you are following the rules.
There can be very rare exceptions such as a historical building. The "safety" clause is very strict against landlords and there are supporting court cases you can show them. If they allow other property, then yours is no less safe.

Q: What can a local government, association, or consumer do if there is a dispute over whether a particular restriction is valid?
A: Restrictions that impair installation, maintenance or use of the antennas covered by the rule are preempted (unenforceable) unless they are needed for safety or historic preservation and are no more burdensome than necessary to accomplish the articulated legitimate safety purpose or for preservation of a designated or eligible historic site or district. If a person believes a restriction is preempted, but the local government, community association, or landlord disagrees, either the person or the restricting entity may file a Petition for Declaratory Ruling with the FCC or a court of competent jurisdiction. We encourage parties to attempt to resolve disputes prior to filing a petition. Often contacting the FCC for information about how the rule works and applies in a particular situation can help to resolve the dispute. If a local government, community association, or landlord acknowledges that its restriction impairs installation, maintenance, or use and is preempted under the rule but believes it can demonstrate "highly specialized or unusual" concerns, the restricting entity may apply to the Commission for a waiver of the rule."
