Rental payments shall be paid by the tenant to the owner/landlord in equal dollar amounts, or as close thereto as possible, and shall be extended equally, pro rata, over a calendar year. Any provision in a rental agreement or otherwise which requires rental payments or rental increases to be paid in 1 lump sum shall be null and void. Nothing herein shall preclude a tenant from requesting, and the owner/landlord from agreeing thereto, that rental payment be made in a 1-time lump sum, semi-annual, or quarterly payment made by the tenant; nor does anything herein prevent a landowner from offering discounts as incentives to homeowners to pay annually, semi-annually or quarterly provided it is made clear that the homeowners are under no obligation to pay in any way except monthly.
