Advice needed about letting a house


If they want to operate on a cash basis, and you're happy with that, then thats fine. The suggestion was made though that landlords should insist on it. If I get robbed on the way home with the rent money, is my landlord going to be alright with not getting paid that month? I doubt it.

The rent book is one way of dealing with your obligations, but not the only one. A written lease takes care of most of the information that needs to be given. Then there just needs to be a written record of rent paid, which can be the bank statements showing it, or a receipt issued by the landlord periodically.

But Bronte, I thought all landlords were money hungry pigs who don't give a fiddlers about their tenants or their wellbeing? lol, some people have no clue.

How does it improve my wellbeing if some yob sees me withdraw a large sum of cash to pay the rent, and decides to relieve me of it?

It doesn't, but I never said it would either.

My tenants want to pay me in cash. My agent has as much chance of being mugged as my tenants! I would probably prefer a bank transfer at this stage as I'm 100% comfortable with my tenants but they want to keep the arrangement in place.
