If you have an OTA? DVR?, then you would want to connect it to the network. The DVR will plug into your indoor antenna, and the the DVR plugs into the network. This makes things easier for the tenant if they should decide against cable television.
In the case of an SRO?, there will also be a coaxial jack at the window sill. The DVR will plug into the coaxial which will then run to the TV. This is much in the same fashion as running a cable to the window for a better position for the antenna. The only difference is this is in the wall rather than running along the baseboard.
