Land lords experienced with post dated checks as payment

[John Ma]

Hey guys, I was wondering if any land lords out there have had any experience with requiring or prefering tennants to post-date checks for the duration of a year or the lease.

I have thought about requiring this as I feel it makes it easier for the land lord as well as the tennant. My only concern is, since my property targets lower middle class, potential tennants may be turned off from this for fear of not having enough on their account in case of an emergency.

I was hoping to hear experience from seasoned land lords who have imposed this or has had experience with it.
