They usually want some automation though, so if you can provide an easy way for the parents to pay (online or automated ACH) that's going to help you attract the good ones.College students will have less than stellar (if any) credit.  

I'd try to get them to do an immediate posting service so for a buck or two they get a draft ACH to me that posts the same day they do it. 

I require a notarized  letter ( current within 30 days ) prom a "licensed " medical professional in MY state that is licensed to practice medicine in my state .

They also offer payment processing free to the landlord where the renter can pay with a ACH, credit or debit card which is why in chose them.  

New tenants are told up front that I have no tolerance to tenants paying late, I specifically state that I expect to be paid on time ahead of all other personal commitments including bills, medicine and food.

Tenants who are set up right from the start typically remain that way through out their lease and cause you fewer head aches.

There's plenty of ways a landlord can ACH debit checking or savings accounts easily these days.

We have implemented credit and debit cards so tenants can pay with ACH (bank accounts) and credit/debit cards.

Landlords getting a taste of their own medicine, lmao.Here are a few solutions depending on your available time v money:1: Request a hearing.

They issue new cards, maybe a new account number, and life goes on..I also like when we get a NSF check or reversed ACH transfer and the reversal email specifically tells us NSF...
