(2) If a prospective tenant does not provide a required official state background check
and/or credit report issued within ninety (90) days of the application for a rental
unit, then the landlord, lessor, sub-lessor, real estate broker, property management
company, or designee may charge the prospective tenant a fee representing not more
than the actual cost of obtaining the official state background check and/or credit
report. Provided further, any prospective tenant who is charged a fee under this subsection
for a background check or credit report shall be provided with a copy of the background
check or credit report; and
(3) Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit the landlord, lessor, sub-lessor,
real estate broker, property management company, or designee from obtaining an independent
background check or credit report at the landlord’s own expense.
