No, it is generally not legal for a landlord to charge fees that are not specified in the lease agreement. Landlords are typically only allowed to charge fees that are clearly outlined in the lease contract. Charging additional fees without prior agreement may be considered a breach of contract or unlawful. It is important for tenants to review their lease agreement carefully to understand their rights and obligations.
