New 2020 NY Laws for App, Background, and Credit Check Fees
Hi!
Can any investors in NY help me out with how they charge for credit and background checks. I want to use apartments.com but they charge $24-$29 for the credit/background checks but the new law says you can't charge more than $20. Does anyone have a way to get around this that maybe I'm missing? Or if you can't, what sites you're using to do the checks and how much they cost.
I really don't want to have to deal with actively collecting fees for the checks, I really want it to be automated through a site. And I don't want to have to pay for them out of my pocket if I don't have to!
Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
