Comment on Anon needs to pay the rent
BackOnMyBS@lemmy.autism.place 4 days agoAmerican here. I have never paid rent in cash to a landlord I had a lease with. Only times I have paid in cash was when I was either living with a friend or giving a roommate my part of the rent. It’s possible some people pay in cash, but I would say it is not common.

Same. I might have paid an application fee in cash or something (for background check), but that’s really it in the past 15 years. If I was a landlord, I would highly discourage paying in cash, because nobody wants to handle thousands of dollars in cash every month…

I paid for the registration for my car in cash because I didn’t feel like buying checks to write a $25 bill.
MFers apparently charge a fee for cash transactions and never told me. Since I mailed it out and the state of Misery is awful it took 8 months before someone finally told me what I needed to do (send $26) and finally I got my plates.

Wow, that’s dumb. My local emissions place charges a 3% “service charge,” which is waived if I pay in cash, but since that’s pretty close to the rewards I get with my card (2%), I just paid by card since the difference is like $1. I don’t remember my DMV charging any fees for credit though (i.e. when I get plates).
If you’re buying from a dealership, you could probably go to the DMV directly to get the plates, and maybe they don’t charge a fee. Idk though, each state is different.
