I truly appreciate your honest comment, which (unfortunately) confirms my concern, and provides further insight.The following site also has a nice overview of how safe, from a seller's perspective, are various payment methods: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Payment_methods (Note: I have not the faintest clue what a bitcoin is, but they seem to have the same problem that we have: safe electronic payment methods.)In summary, I conclude that there is no suitable electronic payment method for rent collection, that is governed by the rule of law rather than the judgement of private intermediaries the rules of which can be gamed, and that cannot be reversed at will by a smart "professional" renter.
