     3    § 235-g. Electronic billing and/or payment  of  rent.  1.  A  landlord
     4  shall not require a lessee or tenant to use an electronic billing and/or
     5  payment  system  as  the only method for the payment of rent. A landlord
     6  shall not assess any fee or other charge for a  lessee  or  tenant  that
     7  chooses not to use an electronic billing and/or payment system.
     8    2.  A landlord shall not assess any fee or other charge for the use of
     9  an automated clearing house payment for the payment of rent.
