    (765 ILCS 705/3.5 new)
    Sec. 3.5. Additional means to pay rent when electronic 
payment methods charge additional fees. If a landlord uses a 
third-party payment portal to collect rental payments from 
tenants and if a transaction fee or other charge is imposed 
through the portal on rental payments made by e-check or other 
means, then the landlord shall allow the tenant to make rental 
payments by delivering a paper check or cash to the landlord or 
the landlord's business office or by means that do not require 
the tenant to pay the transaction fee or other charge. This 
Section applies to leases or agreements executed after the 
effective date of this amendatory Act of the 103rd General
