In 2005 President Bush passed the "Freedom to display the American Flag Act" into law.

Its not illegal if its on private property owned by a private company. They can make any rules they want(just you a private citizen can govern their own home). You sign a lease agreement stating you will follow property policy. You have the option to leave if you don't like their rules. If you don't follow their rules they have the option to evict you after proper notice and other procedural mumbo jumbo. The only reason they reversed their position was to save face( and money...).
