Got the rent (and a mess)

Well, this is a first...

A tenant mailed her rent check — with glitter inside the envelope.

Not a glittery card.

Just loose glitter.

Everywhere.

Like the envelope was a piñata.

So yeah, totally get the urge.

You wanna ban checks forever.

Make everyone pay rent by ACH so your phone stops lighting up with “Hey, just wondering if it got there??”

Here’s the thing:

You can't make Tenants use ACH rent payments.

You can offer it (use this form if so).

But they have the right to hand you a paper check.

Or cash.

Or a sweaty roll of quarters wrapped in a sock.
