Thanks for the reply Nathan appreciate the feedback.

Definitely agree I should have been more careful while reading the lease!

We have since provided the new password, something we were worried about is the Landlord sharing the password with other Tennants in the house. We have noticed a considerable drop in streaming quality which could be the reason.

The weird thing is that electricity and gas are included in our monthly rent, so I don't really understand why he would ask us to provide the internet, he could have done so himself and increased the rent to reflect that?

Hi, recently we changed our wifi password for security. And our landlord came to request the new password. When we questioned him on why would we give it to him, he mentioned it's in our lease agreement that we have to. After reviewing the lease it does state that "the Tennant must provide Landlord with high speed internet" which has been signed and initialed by us. 

So I guess I'm just wondering is this a legal request the landlord can make ?

Side note: if we refuse to provide a new password what could the reprecutions be? 

Another thing I'll mention is the landlord as broken his own lease multiple times by entering our house without permission while nobody was present and often walks in unannounced.

Appreciate any thoughts
