(ii) If the
provider’s bill is not included, state that the tenant may inspect the provider’s
bill at a reasonable time and place and that the tenant may obtain a copy of
the provider’s bill by making a request to the landlord during the inspection
and upon payment to the landlord for the reasonable cost of making copies.
(D) A landlord
may require that a bill to the tenant for a utility or service charge is due
upon delivery of the bill. A landlord shall treat the tenant’s payment as
timely for purposes of ORS 90.302 (3)(b)(A) if the payment is made by a date
that is specified in the bill and that is not less than 30 days after delivery
of the bill.
(E) If a written
rental agreement so provides, the landlord may deliver a bill to the tenant as
provided in ORS 90.155 or by electronic means.
(c) Except as
provided in this paragraph, a utility or service charge may only include the
cost of the utility or service as billed to the landlord by the provider. A
landlord may add an additional amount to a utility or service charge billed to
the tenant if:
(A) The utility
or service charge to which the additional amount is added is for cable
television, direct satellite or other video subscription services or for
Internet access or usage;
(B) The
additional amount is not more than 10 percent of the utility or service charge
billed to the tenant;
(C) The total of
the utility or service charge and the additional amount is less than the
typical periodic cost the tenant would incur if the tenant contracted directly
with the provider for the cable television, direct satellite or other video
subscription services or for Internet access or usage;
