Direct deposit from tenant ‘s employer

[Joy James]

Due to the current situation, I am toying with the idea of requesting an applicant’s employer if he would be ok to directly deposit the tenant’s rent every month from his paycheck. The employer is an established plumber whom i have done business with for years. The applicant has been his employee for about 4 years now. What are your thoughts? Is this even a plausible solution to avoid any rent payment delay or non payment? Has anyone done this in the past? What has been your experience with this?
