For those who rent-or are landlords

Do you pay your rent in cash or check?
Landlords-do you ask for cash?

Re: For those who rent-or are landlords

We pay cash...AND get a receipt signed EVERY month.Chat Icon

ETA: Most landlords (w/illegal apts) will only take cash. Our apt is in a legal 2 family, but they still prefer cash.

Re: For those who rent-or are landlords

I used to pay cash and I got a receipt for my own records but I understand the cash thing.

Anyone else?

Re: For those who rent-or are landlords

Our tenants pay in cash and we don't give them a receipt, if they asked for one we would provide it but they don't. We have a legal 2 family house and claim the income on our taxes so we really don't have anything to worry about. I prefer cash because I use the money during the month as spending cash, rather than taking money out of the bank.

Re: For those who rent-or are landlords

most of my tenants pay by check - but I had a tenant previously that paid cash - and I couldn't say no to that!

Re: For those who rent-or are landlords

We get a check - we have the property set up as a rental property on our taxes

When I was a renter, I always paid by check, sometimes made out to cash

We live in a legal 2-family and pay cash every month. Our landlords prefer this to a check.

Re: For those who rent-or are landlords

we prefer cash, but will accept checks as long as they give it to us a few days early (to allow the check to clear).

I guess if an apartment is illegal they will only want cash.

Re: For those who rent-or are landlords

I always pay by check. If you pay by cash, make sure you have a record of it (receipt).

Re: For those who rent-or are landlords

As a landlord we would accept both. Our tenant has only given us check thus far, but even if she gave us a cash we still would have to document and hand over a receipt. We claim the property for investment.
