Indoor reception is frequently affected by electronic devises (CFL and LED bulbs, motors, computers, appliances, etc.) which emit small amounts of interference. In some cases, moving the antenna to a location away from the noise source resolves the problem... If no indoor location can be found, you can try a larger antenna, even one designed for outdoor mounting. But in some cases, the only solution is to use an outdoor mounted antenna. Two major factors explain this... 1) Outdoors, there is less loss due to building penetration and 2) Outdoors, the antenna is further from the source(s) of interference.
I'd try testing reception outdoors and in the attic.
If I was starting from scratch, seeking just the strong local stations, I'd use an Antennas Direct CS2-V or RCA ANT-751R pointed NE.
If my landlord would not allow the use of penetrating mounting hardware, I'd look into a ground mounted mast that relied on a weighted base or staked guy wires.
