Even if you can get several signatures, that's still better than one. Would a landlord risk losing several lots of rent in one go, I don't think so. Try it, they can't terminate your lease just because you have asked for a cable to be connected. Phrase the letter along the lines of "will add value to your property, ensure continued tenancy of property etc." Make it clear that it's in their
own interests to allow the connection and charging fees for the wayleave is not in their interests.

Probably am getting confused but I am not entirely sure either way. He's talking about leasehold properties who have a landlord and an agent, yet the land/gardens is owned by someone else. How can that be?
