New York A03121 prohibits landlords from charging tenants fees for using electronic payment systems for rent.

New York A03121 amends the real property law to prohibit landlords from requiring tenants to use electronic billing and payment systems exclusively for rent. It also bans landlords from charging fees for tenants who opt not to use these systems or for using automated clearing house payments. Landlords must provide a fee-free method for rent payment, which may include cash or personal check. Any agreement that waives these rights is void. The act takes effect immediately.
