Looking For Advice About Rent Payments and New Landlord
Posted on 12/11/15 at 3:20 pm

I am about to begin renting with a new landlord. The landlord has requested rent payments by cash or money order to establish a payment history before accepting checks, etc... Does this seem odd or is this a common practice? I do not know how to reassure the landlord that I will not pay with a bad check. I am looking for advice about how to approach the landlord about a check payment instead of cash.

Sounds like your landlord is looking to do a little tax evasion to me. This could be an opportunity for you have a slightly cheaper rent. Outside of that, I wouldn't be to worried about it.
If you really wanna pay with check, just show up with one when the first months' rent is due and see what happens.

What form of payment is specified in your lease?

Just do what your landlord says.
Who knows why he has that rule.
"Don't start no drama won't be no drama"

Just have your bank send your landlord a certified check each month.
I would not want the lack of record that occurs with a cash or money order payment to be on me.

Will he accept a certified check?
I would never pay in cash. Money order would be ok... but I would make a copy of it before you give it to him. I would also ask for a receipt if you use a money order.

I would never pay in cash because you won't have any proof that you paid him

Just ask for a receipt and hold on to it as proof. I won't take checks from my renters. Maybe I'm skeptical but cash doesn't bounce.
