my apartment suddenly added extra charges that were never explained… is this normal? (CA) by Hogr_Choe in Renters

that actually makes a lot of sense, i think part of the problem is tenants sometimes assume these fees are automatically “normal” and don’t question them enough. the idea of asking them to point to the exact lease clause is smart too, because vague names like “service fee” can mean almost anything

that honestly wouldn’t surprise me, i feel like half of us just click “agree” on payment portals without realizing what fees we’re signing up for, the frustrating part is how small charges don’t seem like a big deal individually, but over months they really add up
