    I am disappointed in the carelessness of your reply lol.

    Right now this is like refusing an amenity fee because you don’t use the pool. You can disconnect the service, but the $60/mo or whatever charge is still being billed to you.

    The FCC is fine with it as long as the landlord bundles the service with your lease and the service provider isn’t blocking other providers.

    Is it right or fair in my opinion? Absolutely not.

    Sure, you could probably find a lawyer but that’ll only work up till the point a judge goes “well, the state doesn’t block these fees and this is outside of the purview of the FCC”.

    …and can’t forget the gamble of paying $300/hr+ for a lawyer.

      This is an addendum to the original lease. They don’t have to sign it and the landlord still has to honor the terms of the original lease.
