    Landlord Charges Excessive Fees in Addition to Rent
    My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Michigan
    The apartment where I live the intercom does not work in which I have addressed more than 3 times. Along with grass missing in from of all units. I moved here during the winter month. I'm also charged excessive fees along with the rent i.e adm fee,sewer,rubbish,pest fee (no one has came to spray for any pest), and water. Is this legal i wrote in my lease do not agree. I have looked for another place to move the rent is too high . I'm a senior and don't want to move to a senior housing. The units are really nice inside and roomy. I can't find a match at this rate 2 bed 2 full bath
    I would appreciate any help you can give me

    Then you may just have to change what you can, accept what you can't change, and have the wisdom to know the difference.

    "Legal" option: Study your state's landlord tenant law, put everything in writing, go to court if you have to, risk retaliation or non-renewal.

    Practical advice: Compromise.

    Yes, if the charges were disclosed to you. You signed the lease. You could have walked away if you didn't like the charges.

    Meaningless without the landlord's agreement to waive charges.

    Is this a context in which people need to use the intercom to be buzzed into the building, or can people enter without using the intercom? In the former case, you have a stronger argument for its repair. Did it work when you moved in?

    If there is grass in front of all of the units, that suggests that each unit has its own door and the intercom is a mere convenience.
