§  103.  Commercial  landlord-tenant relationship. 1. No landlord of a
commercial  property  shall  (a)  interfere  with  the  installation  of
telephone  corporation facilities upon such property or premises, except
that a landlord of a commercial property may require:
  (1) that the installation of telephone corporation facilities  conform
to  such  reasonable  conditions as are necessary to protect the safety,
functioning and appearance of the  premises,  and  the  convenience  and
well-being of other tenants;
  (2)  that  the  telephone  corporation  bear  the  entire  cost of the
installation, operation or removal of such facilities; and
  (3) that the telephone corporation agree to indemnify the landlord  of
the  commercial  property  for  any  damage  caused by the installation,
operation or removal of such facilities;
  (b) demand or accept payment from any commercial tenant, in any  form,
in  exchange  for permitting telephone corporation services on or within
such commercial property or premises, or from any telephone  corporation
in exchange therefor in excess of any amount which the commission shall,
by regulation, determine to be reasonable; or
  (c)  discriminate  in  rental charges or otherwise, between commercial
tenants who receive telephone corporation services and those who do not.
  2. No telephone corporation may enter  into  any  agreement  with  the
owners,  lessees or persons controlling or managing commercial buildings
served by a telephone corporation, or do or permit any act,  that  would
have  the  effect,  directly or indirectly of diminishing or interfering
with existing rights of any tenant or other occupant of such building to
use or avail himself or herself of telecommunications services.
