I write checks for my rent. My apartment building has an online payment system but charges $4.95 for the "privilege" of paying electronically or $39.95 (holy cow) to pay by debit or credit card. Sadly, paying by sliding a check under the door of the management office is still free, so I do that. Canadian here. I still use cheques for rent as well. Once a year I give the landlord a set of twelve post-dated rent cheques, and they deposit one a month. If I move out before the end of the year, I ask for all the unused ones back and void them. If they were to not return them, I have the cheque numbers so I would go to the bank and stop them. It works out pretty well, all things considered. They're post-dated, so the landlord can't deposit them before the start of the month, and I don't have to remember to cut a cheque each month. I just have to ensure there's money in the account. It does feel old-fashioned to write out a cheque by hand these days.
