I remember before an investor was burned using pay rents online.They had it where a tenant could pay and also could deposit money or wire money in.What happened is the tenant sent in 300 instead of the 600 owed into the landlord's account.The tenant argued in court that the landlord accepted partial payment and was going to work with them on an arrangement.The judge sided with the tenant.So the moral of the story if you are going to do this is only a set amount is allowed to be paid with no partials.If they try a partial it should reject the payment.Of course you can work out a payment with them IF YOU want to but you want to control that and not the tenant.On paying cash when I was 17 I was running low on cash.I went to the gas station at night and put about 11 in gas in the car.I had the money in coins quarters,dimes,nickels and pennies.It wasn't rolled.The gas station employee refused the money and I told him he had to take it.

Moral: go more on your criteria and previous landlord's recommendation than the applicant's promises. 

Moral of the story: judge the dog, not the breed.

Business decisions are measure in the bottom line, not public records, small claims, or achieving moral victories. 

Forget what all these naysayers think, your body is your temple, and you have a moral obligation to yourself to make your millions the old fashioned way, in court.

There is no moral dilemma here.

Then go do that (assuming it is not against any of your morals or ethics).4.

@John Hamilton --questions that have the word "should" are business decisions or moral/ethical decisions.

Moral: Just do the right thing.
