Could a satellite make the gravity of a planet increase?

Let's say that planet X with a gravity similar to Earth increases its gravity by a certain amount. The increase is great enough to make living conditions difficult or impossible: for instance, the G-force could make buildings structures crack.

Now let's say this happens every 2 years (or whenever) for a specific period (2 weeks or a month), and that after this time it goes back to its regular "Earth gravity". Could this happen because of a satellite orbiting planet X was closer during that period? Is this possible to some extent or am I just talking nonsense?
