    I have hope for my place, we have to renew our lease soon. My landlord is a decent guy and he has trouble with his email so I hope he couldn’t figure that software out lol

      He may not be involved tbh, it may be a management company he uses that use the software. You’d know if you send your money to him directly or to a management company.

        Guys pretty old school so we send it to him and whenever we need repairs he comes to fix it. He’s a good dude. Is a true historian and loves this house, when we were touring the place he told us about every person who owned it after it was built in 1864

        That being said I know even the best can’t resist money, so I can only hope

          If you send the money directly to him, I’m pretty sure you don’t have anything to worry about. They usually get paid and then send the money to your landlord.
