Seeing as this was my first UE I wanted to try to get permission, I'm thinking that I'll atleast TRY to get permission for every UE I do, but heres my permission story: I found this place interesting a week before I went and decided to email the mall to ask for permission, so I wrote out an email to the aviation mall info email and sent it, 1 day later, nothing, 2 days later, nothing, 3 days later, nothing, so I went to the Pyramid Shopping Mall Group's website and found their contact form and copied my email into that, 1 day later, nothing, 2 days later, nothing... DAMNIT! So I called the aviation mall and I asked for permission and they connected me to someone else and here's vaguely how the conversation went:

Me: Hi I'm a local photography student and I'm looking to expand my portfolio and I was wondering if I could get permission to enter the old Howard Johnson Motel.

Guy: Hmm, Yeah I saw your email and I don't think that's such a great idea...

Me: Okay..

Guy: *hangup*

.... SO! Being pissed off at that.. I goto their website and send ANOTHER email... next day:

Unfortunately, we cannot grant permission for you to do this photography. Good luck in your future endeavors.

GRRR!! So.. I went anyway :P You don't know HOW tempted I am to forward them my pictures and be like IN YO FACE BIATCH!!! :P But that would be bad... very bad...
