Is the owner of the apartment sinful if the tenant misuses the devices in it (such as the TV with satellite receiver and internet) by watching foreign movies or similar things?
The satellite dish and its accessories must be removed when renting out the apartment, as it is one of the most dangerous means of destroying morals and spreading indecency. Allah Almighty says: "Indeed, those who like that indecency should be spread among those who believe will have a painful punishment in this world and the Hereafter. And Allah knows and you do not know." (Quran 24:19). Scholars have prohibited selling or renting anything that is suspected of being used in disobedience, considering it a form of cooperation in sin. Allah Almighty says: "And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression." (Quran 5:2).
