Comment on Cable can't compete with 5G home internet, so it's cheating

The landlord can do bulk billing, and they can refuse to allow other companies to service the property. As a tenant the first one doesn’t mean you have to buy in to that, and the second doesn’t apply to wireless providers. Both things are a basis to sue.

Also this was a simple search away. Please do the simple searching yourself from now on.

Please don’t post one word comments and then get annoyed when someone asks you to elaborate.

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.
