Today, my landlord informed me that from now on, she'd prefer if I paid my rent in cash each month. Apparently, I "look sketchy" and she didn't "ever want to deal with the hassle of a bounced check." FML

Freaking stereotypes... Just because I'm in a wheelchair doesn't mean I'm retarded. Fuggin idiots. FYL, stereotypes oppress us all.

There's a stereotype that people in wheelchairs are retarded? I've never heard that one before. But I don't hang with idiots.

Or instead of getting receipts...just make a money order. Your covered, she's covered, all is good. The whole sketchy look with bounced checks could be a number of things...maybe you just look young and they've been having a bad time with renters. Ya never know that your consistency may get them to change their mind on judging someone by the way they "look".

Your landlord sounds shady as ****. Get a receipt every time you pay rent.

DO NOT even think about listening to her unless you get a receipt for every payment!

Ha no he probably just wants to claim your rent is lower and pay less taxes and pocket the extra money. Don't feel bad.

I'd give them a money order. Straight up giving them cash is asking for trouble.

Your landlord is the one that is sketchy. She probably wants to do something sketchy without leaving a paper trail. Hopefully you get good receipts from your cash.

She can't actually do that unless she simply refuses to take checks from anyone. In order to deny you a right to pay in checks, you would have had to bounced a check with her already.

If it was me, I'd keep writing the checks. Until one bounces she has no grounds to refuse to take it.

Tell your landlord you completely agree as you hand her your next rent check, "sketchy people just cannot be trusted." She sounds like-well, I can't decide-douchebag or teabagger...?
