Security Deposit Refund Method - Money Order or Bank Check?

[Samuel H.]

Hello BP!  I'm a new landlord here, and I just had my first tenant move out (it was a VERY short lease).  I've gone through all of the steps for moving out, and now I only have to return the security deposit.  What method do y'all use for the refund, when you send the Disposition of Deposit?

A Personal check?  I don't really like this option because it would have my personal info and account number there.

A Money Order/Cashier's Check?  This would be vulnerable to theft, right?

Online Options?  I use TurboTenant for rent payments, but I don't know if there's an option there for refunds.

Anything else?  Let me know what y'all prefer to do.

Thanks!
