1Opinion of the Court
DAVIS, Chief Justice.
This case presents a certified question from the Circuit Court of Wood County. Briefly stated, the question asks whether W.Va.Code § 24D-2-10 (1999) (Repl.Vol. 2001) permits an exclusivity agreement between an apartment complex and a cable television provider that violates the West Virginia Tenants’ Right to Cable Services Act, W.Va.Code § 24D-2-1, et seq. We find that W.Va.Code § 24D-2-10 is repugnant to the purpose of the West Virginia Tenants’ Right to Cable Services Act and is, therefore, void.
