Employers make employees pay for them often enough that many states have laws prohibiting it
> Q: Can I make an applicant/employee pay for the costs involved in drug testing?
A: There are certain states that specifically address this issue, and employers should familiarize themselves with their state requirements. For example, employers in New Jersey cannot make a candidate pay for his/her drug testing (or medical or other evaluations), unless the position they are applying for is that of a security guard.

My state allows landlords to pass down the exact cost of the background check to the tenant which really isn't fair IMO, it should be considered a cost of doing business. I solved that problem by purchasing a house. Landlords around here have gotten crazy since the housing bubble burst.
