Rent Envelope

FlowerBear · ‎03-24-2018

When we put the Rent check in the envelope and then into the Drop off Slot,

wondering if we should leave it blank or write on it? And if write on it, what do we write?

They put this slot up recently and no guidelines for the envelope.
I was putting it in blank but not so sure thats a good idea.

The envelope with the check in it was what I meant Sorry for any confusion.

I always write my name and share holders code on it and the name of our development also

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

This would be a question for your landlord or property manager.

When I lived in an apartment I always wrote the apartment number, rent month, and my last name on the memo line....But one time a thief stole some of the checks that were placed in the Drop Slot and that ended paying by check or money order, all tenants were then required to pay online...no exceptions....

Those Drop Slots arent very secure, even with security cameras the thieves just cover up the camera..

@FlowerBear The name of the person or company the check is written out to should be on the outside of the envelope. You can put your name and address on it too.

I am surprised a landlord would want to accept a check. Most management companies like direct payments.

@FlowerBear: I write my name and apartment number on the front of the envelope.

We have a dropbox at out rental office. I didn't even bother with an envelope to be honest. I always wrote my apt number in the memo until I finally had new checks with my correct address on it.

I would never put checks in a slot - and leave the pay to space blank.

The thieves know how to dip the checks in water to remove the ink - then they write in whatever names they want. I also suggest paying the rent on-line --- where u have proof of payment, and it shows which month the rent is for, and sent by u .
