Collecting rent payments for renting a room
I'm thinking about renting a room in my house. What's the best method to collect rent payments?
What do you all use?

Hi Michael,
I am currently renting out a SFR and I am using checks as the payment method. With mobile deposit, I find this to be fairly minimal effort on my part. None-the-less, I am looking into using Cozy going forward as I start to acquire more rentals. If you want to shy away from checks, I'd recommend doing a search of the forums for online rent collection as there is a plethora of information out there.
