You see see the date in the top part. This was in 2019 before covid and before all the prices went to crazy town.

Man I wish I lived where you did in 2019. I was looking for a place from 2017 to 2020, and they were already fucked.
Hell, Studio Apartments with like 500sqft were 2200 to 2400 a month already.
Last I checked you can move 50 miles from civilization and pay 600/month, but that was also the case 7 years ago.

The city is in Indiana. OP thinks it’s a cool part of the city because there’s an Applebee’s and an Olive Garden just a short 30 minute drive away.

Maybe $1100/month each… Maybe

Right? Who the hell would agree to a price like that. That would cover my mortage for 2 months.

Is it normal to pay cash for rent in the US? I’ve always done it by bank transfer, set up to pay automatically on the agreed date…
Seems like a great way to perform tax fraud.
weker01@sh.itjust.works 7 months ago
Years ago you needed to send them a check every month. You also mostly got paid with a monthly check.
For some (historic) reason bank transfers are very underutilized in America. I think it gets better though? I don’t know am not 'murican.

My guess is that forcing you to withdraw cash or write checks is more profitable for one of the most under-regulated industries in the world in one of the most under-regulated countries in the world 🤷

Greater opportunity, yes; however, cash is still legal tender in the US and it used to be illegal to not accept it as payment (this may have changed). And, as the payer, make sure you get a receipt so they can’t screw you and if the landlord doesn’t pay taxes, you’re not culpable - it’s their responsibility, not your’s.
Cash is fine. The receipt is important, though, for a number of reasons. Not many people are going to go withdraw $1,100 just to pay rent, unless they’re getting a discount for cash, which is a good indication there’s some tax dodging going on.
Even if you trade sex for rent, get a receipt saying you paid your rent.

I don’t know about rent, but an increasing amount of the retail industry no longer accepts cash.

American 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.
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 7 months ago
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…
Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 7 months ago
Probably a check. If this was a while ago or a smaller landlord that just doesn’t have a fancypants website with a payment portal they probably have to drop a check off at their office each month. I had to do that in the year of our lord two thousand and twenty one before I got my house

For almost the first year I lived there I paid rent in person by cheque to a management company office. It was a midtown manhatten apartment in a nice ish building less than a decade ago. They also forgot to cash the bankers draft I had written up for my deposit (five fucking figures that they just didn’t notice for years). Real Estate has a surprising number of absolute clowns still for some reason. I guess because it’s been easy money for asset owners so they chaff wasn’t being squeezed out.

Damn, that is a really high rate for a prostitute.
sxan@midwest.social 7 months ago
Making it an excellent bargain.
However: it doesn’t sound as if she didn’t accept only because she wanted to be faithful; it sounds as if she was upset by the experience. So, fuck anon. He can go see if the landlord will accept something from him, instead.

$1100 for sex? The landlord was rather desperate.
ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 7 months ago
I don’t know the value of sex right now.in this economy.
I’m guessing that’s a lot?
psycho_driver@lemmy.world 7 months ago
She should be proud, most girls can’t pull 1,100 from a single job.
Xenny@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Obviously a joke but I’m easier you don’t want to do this. He has sex with you and is not legally binding and then evicts you anyway. Unless you had like body cam footage of the exchange going down.

I have seen such cam footage.
