Anon should go suck the landlord's dick
$1,100 is $1,100 Β―\_(γ)_/Β―
we live in a decent apartment in cool part of city $1100/month for rent
Bullshit
You can see the date in the top part. This was in 2019 before covid and before all the prices went to crazy town.
Man I wish I lived where you did in 2019. I was looking for a place from 2017 to 2020, and they were already fucked.
Hell, Studio Apartments with like 500sqft were 2200 to 2400 a month already.
Last I checked you can move 50 miles from civilization and pay 600/month, but that was also the case 7 years ago.
The city is in Indiana. OP thinks it's a cool part of the city because there's an Applebee's and an Olive Garden just a short 30 minute drive away.
Maybe $1100/month each... Maybe
Right? Who the hell would agree to a price like that. That would cover my mortage for 2 months.
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.
Greater opportunity, yes; however, cash is still legal tender in the US and it used to be illegal to not accept it as payment (this may have changed). And, as the payer, make sure you get a receipt so they can't screw you and if the landlord doesn't pay taxes, you're not culpable - it's their responsibility, not your's.
Cash is fine. The receipt is important, though, for a number of reasons. Not many people are going to go withdraw $1,100 just to pay rent, unless they're getting a discount for cash, which is a good indication there's some tax dodging going on.
Even if you trade sex for rent, get a receipt saying you paid your rent.
American here. I have never paid rent in cash to a landlord I had a lease with. Only times I have paid in cash was when I was either living with a friend or giving a roommate my part of the rent. It's possible some people pay in cash, but I would say it is not common.
Probably a check. If this was a while ago or a smaller landlord that just doesn't have a fancypants website with a payment portal they probably have to drop a check off at their office each month. I had to do that in the year of our lord two thousand and twenty one before I got my house
Edit to add: the lowish rent definitely supports either reason too. Small towns most businesses have no web presence beyond a Facebook page or maybe some static html made by the local computer place 5-15 years ago that they haven't updated since then because they aren't seeing the value in spending money to update it. It really is like going back in time technologically a good 15 years living in a small town
For almost the first year I lived there I paid rent in person by cheque to a management company office. It was a midtown manhatten apartment in a nice ish building less than a decade ago. They also forgot to cash the bankers draft I had written up for my deposit (five fucking figures that they just didn't notice for years). Real Estate has a surprising number of absolute clowns still for some reason. I guess because it's been easy money for asset owners so they chaff wasn't being squeezed out.
$1100 for sex? The landlord was rather desperate.
I don't know the value of sex right now.in this economy.
I'm guessing that's a lot?
Obviously a joke but you don't want to do this. He has sex with you and the deal is not legally binding and then evicts you anyway. Unless you had like body cam footage of the exchange going down.
yeah also your landlord is not only an asshole (like all landlords) but also a fucking weirdo
praying this is fake and gay π
It canβt be itβs a green text on 4chan.
