>Did you ask the landlord?
Yes, they said no drilling. And even if they allowed me to drill, they're going back on their words often. A while ago i had beef with them about my business' nameplate on my mailbox (one man software engineering that builds custom software for small to middle size business). "Your house is strictly housing, not an office, remove the plate or we will evict you" type of bullshit. They gave me written permission to mount the plate years ago, but it didn't matter.
They're very anal about this kind of stuff. Which is funny as balls because in a few weeks a Telekom dude is going to show up an drill a hole next to the entrance door of every single flat in the house for FTTH.
>If you get a professional to do a proper cable channel/patch panel, they might allow it if it improves the apartment.
It's a 60 year old piece of shit city owned building that is slowly falling apart, the only "improvement" they're doing is renovating the flats from poverty spec to luxury apartments (lipstick on a pig) when the old tenants leave and increasing rent from ~800€ (old lease contracts) to over 2000€ a month. It's not section 8 like as it's supposed to be regular housing for regular people, but there's this thing called "Wohngeld" ("residency-money") where people from poorer backgrounds get taxpayer-money for free to live in well off neighborhoods so no ghettos form. Also the more people live in a flat, the more money they get so the people who receive wohngeld breed like crazy, there's like 3 to 4 children with another one on the way living in the 10 or so square meter room below my /hsg/ room.
The landlord has become toxic in the past few years, trying to evict everyone for the slightest thing due to greed. But this is moving off-topic so I'll cut it here.
