I have new tenants (limited English speaking family) who prefer to pay cash.  

A private owner of a small property can deal with accepting cash, much easier.Checks are still the best form of payment in my opinion.My experience with Money OrdersI worked at a large over 300 unit Section 8, Tax Credit, property, most of our tenants paid with money orders, most didn't speak English, some couldn't read or write, or know how to properly fill out a money order.

To me, their words sound like Charlie Brown's teacher until they give me cash, then it sounds like English.  

@bill gulley thank you, man, for that simple English explanation.

Owner occupied duplex in Sacramento. please speak English...thanks!

In English, they do not have to let the Board of Health, The Police, The Fire Department, Maintenance Staff, OR especially a hungry landlord who wants a tuna sandwich from the resident's fridge at 1:26 AM.

We had previously purchased 2 and 1/3 buildings in Bolivia, and 2 houses by the university of MN , I am a Bolivian woman with broken English,  my husband is a son of a SD farmer, so is a Jack of all trades. 

I found this site to be a good breakdown (in plain English) of the requirements: https://homeinspectorsecrets.com/carpentry/stairs/residential-stair-handrail-irc-code/As for that little landing, I don't know what the codes are there.

@Joe Homs That's right, I was referring to Probate but didn't know the english term since it's called a different way here in Quebec. 

And I am getting sick and tired of telling the idiot machines I want to conduct my transaction in ENGLISH.
