    They don’t need to ask for tips when they slide in convenience fees into your billing, like mine does. So not only has my rent jumped $20 up, but it’s also an additional $5 BECAUSE of the stupid fucking fees. Fuck landlords.

      Many jurisdictions have laws that require a form of payment that doesn’t come with fees. I think mine requires the landlord to be able to accept cash or check without fees. If the lease says you can only pay online, and the only way to pay online requires those fees, that would be illegal in my area.

        Should be the law everywhere. Of course, I also believe there should be a rent cap in every city, ideally $1-2 per square foot.
