Episode 53: Can your landlord charge you an extra fee each month because you pay your rent electronically?
About this episode
This episode discusses whether landlords can charge extra fees for electronic and manual rent payments and the rights of tenants regarding payment documentation and receipts.
Can your landlord up-charge you for paying rent electronically? Those charges sure add up over time. For that matter, can the landlord charge you an extra fee for paying manually – with a check, cash, or money order? If you don’t pay electronically, how can you document that you’ve paid? Do you have a right to a receipt? What type of receipt? And how soon after you pay manually must the landlord give you the receipt? What if you are a subtenant, do the answers change? What if you are Rent Stabilized, do the answers change? These are the questions we are tackling in this Episode 3 of Learn to Live Better, a Housing Law Podcast.
