Do tenants of buildings earning LEED EBOM certification have any legal right to access the final leed checklist for the building they occupy? Does the building owner or manager have any right to restrict access to the checklist for the tenants?

Interesting question Joanna - I think the USGBC is probably the only organization who can give you a reliable answer. In general, the USGBC places a very high priority on protecting potentially confidential or proprietary information relating to buildings and their ownership, so I suspect they would not release a checklist without the consent of the owner/manager who was responsible for the certification project. Its unfortunate to imagine a scenario where an owner/manager would choose NOT to share that information with a tenant, as it's hard to imagine how it could reflect poorly on them, but I don't think the tenants would have specifically legal right to see that document.
