Can my apartment complex legally prevent me from getting any kind of cable and internet service?

We moved in on July 7th and have had the only cable service provider available in the area out 5 times. They told us our cable lines were cut and they need to be replaced in order to get us service. To do that, the complex must allow the cable company to install new wires. The complex has not allowed this to happen and is dragging their feet. They have not returned our calls or the cable company’s calls. Can we take the apartment complex to court?

You have to be allowed access to cable.  Is there an assoviation of renters that you can contact?  They usually have meetings once a month.
