Is it normal to pay cash for rent in the US? I’ve always done it by bank transfer, set up to pay automatically on the agreed date…

Seems like a great way to perform tax fraud.

Years ago you needed to send them a check every month. You also mostly got paid with a monthly check.

For some (historic) reason bank transfers are very underutilized in America. I think it gets better though? I don’t know am not 'murican.

My guess is that forcing you to withdraw cash or write checks is more profitable for one of the most under-regulated industries in the world in one of the most under-regulated countries in the world 🤷

Just how backwards do you think we are? I haven’t written a check for at least ten years. Everything is electronic now.
