17    Occupation Tax Act.  If the property is leased  in  a  manner
18    that  does  not  qualify for this exemption or is used in any
19    other non-exempt manner, the lessor shall be liable  for  the
20    tax  imposed  under  this Act or the Use Tax Act, as the case
21    may be, based on the fair market value of the property at the
22    time the non-qualifying use occurs.  No lessor shall  collect
23    or  attempt  to  collect  an amount (however designated) that
24    purports to reimburse that lessor for the tax imposed by this
25    Act or the Use Tax Act, as the case may be, if  the  tax  has
26    not been paid by the lessor.  If a lessor improperly collects
27    any  such  amount  from  the  lessee, the lessee shall have a
28    legal right to claim a refund of that amount from the lessor.
29    If, however, that amount is not refunded to  the  lessee  for
