Yeah I’m surprised they allow the em to pay rent via credit card. Since that reduces the amount the landlord gets, it seems fair that it would charge a fee to cover that difference.
I wonder if the fee goes away if a checking account is used.
I used to live in a condo and the management company charged a fee if I used ACH from a checking account but nothing if I mailed in a check. My bank would mail checks for free so I did that. It seemed much less convenient for them to have to open and cash all those checks but that wasn't my problem.
My man, the amount the landlord is charging rent is entirely arbitrary outside of being 'as high as they can get away with'. Don't make excuses for a landlord swindling you out of your money by making that amount seem more palatable by shuffling bits of it behind "fees."
Almost $1700 a month in base rent, the landlord can pay the damn fee for their own convenience in not having to cash a check.
There should be a way to pay through your banks bill pay system. You may have to dig for it. Ask you landlord for the info if you really can’t find it online.
If you pay through your bank’s website it will not charge you a convenience fee.

This is what I did. For extra amusement points, my bank was literally across the street from the management office of my complex. So they were printing the checks and mailing them... Across the street.
Oh but there is no physical location to drop the payment in your state and if they don't get it within 24 hours its a late fee. You can have it auto debited from your bank account every month but otherwise its a fee or setup that there is no way you can get it to them on time. At least that is what im seeing with everything.
