  A  person  is  guilty  of  rent  gouging  in the third degree when, in

solicits,  accepts  or agrees to accept from a person some consideration
of value, less than two hundred fifty dollars,  in  addition  to  lawful
rental and other lawful charges, upon an agreement or understanding that
the furnishing of such consideration will increase the possibility  that
any  person  may  obtain  or  renew  the  lease,  rental  or use of such
property, or that a failure to furnish it will decrease the  possibility
that any person may obtain or renew the same.
