My building's payment portal charges $75 if I pay by card. I never once used it and have my rent check mailed in via my bank. They rolled out a new app for paying as well, similar fees - didn't even install it.

Don't pay rent in wonky ways. They can supply an address for snail mail and there's no fee

The really funny thing is that it costs them a LOT more in labor to process a physical check that it would an electronic payment.

even with my current landlord who is by far the best landlord anyone could ask for (completely absent but SUPER responsive when texted with an issue, only raised rent 1% per year), I still mail in checks via certified or priority mail and send her the tracking number ahead of time. Costs me like 2$ in postage, i can live with it.
