That's fucked bro. Certified mail for sure.

As far as the clearing thing that just sounds straight up illegal.

But certified mail also costs money so now you're back to the same concept as the 3% fee

[-] bdonvr 12 points 3 days ago

I mean if your rent is $500USD (which is stupidly low, in the US I don't think this exists even in the middle of nowhere) then 3% is $15

Certified mail is around $6

Plus you're not rewarding the landlord/payment processor for their stupid fees.

If your rent is more realistic like $1500 then 3% is $45. No contest.

I was more poor back then, certified mail cost extra, also getting to the post office during business hours was nearly impossible.

But I understand the logic (maybe moreso now...) - but poor me was too busy just trying to get by day to day and survive.

Be civil and nice.
Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
