Cause: Apartment complex added fiber internet and TV to premises.
Issue: Landlord enacted a mandatory added monthly fee addendum under threat of eviction if not signed mid term.
Explanation: Landlord contacted tenant on 2nd month of 12 month signed lease. Told Tenant there would be a $50 fee added first two months and $100 fee for remaining months of lease. Tenant expressed they were not interested in cable TV or internet from contracting host. Landlord issued threat of eviction to obtain signature on lease addendum.
Jurisdiction: West Fort Worth
Question: Is legal action capable and or worth the cost? No action = $900 unexpected expense over 10 months. Is threat of eviction to obtain a signature from tenant illegal or strong arm?
Thank you for any responses.
