PayPal, Make It Stop!

[Donald Crockett]

Against my better judgment honored a tenant request to make rent payments via papal. The tenant has been a model tenant for over 5 years. Never any problems. The request was made 2 months ago. Now, I am, for the first time in my real estate career of more than 10 years, evicting a tenant, this tenant.

Yes that's right. 5 years a tenant anyone would love to have and then boom, eviction.

Any way, my question is, How can I make it so this tenant can no longer attempt to pay rent via PayPal? The tenant made previous payments with my email address, which I have now removed from my account and replaced with another email address. The tenant still has my mobile phone and office phone numbers and as I understand can use those for payment.

I want to make it so this tenant can no longer make payments to me on that platform and I can find nothing on the PP platform that allows me or tells me how to do that. I suppose I could just close my account but I'd rather not do that.

Thanks in advance for any advice. For anyone who doesn't already know, never allow rent payment via PP even if you think you trust the tenant. Such a request should be viewed, I now know, as a red flag.

I guess I don't quite understand.  Why do you want to stop someone from sending you money?
