They allow electronic payments for my apartment, but honestly in the US, that's very rare. Here, a check is the most acceptable way to pay for their mortgage/rent. Many people prefer it due a) A lack of an existing process to accept them (haven't setup through their bank yet) and b) A prevailing distrust of computers and the internet in general. There are erroneous deductions that can happen if you don't keep an eye on automatic payments and there are horror stories of overbillings, overdrafts etc... so that scares away some people too.
