Now that it's all electronic, I quit bidding.

He’s been a good tenant— nice guy and pays electronically on time every month.

@John Teachout 5000 BTU isn’t much and won’t properly cool a 10’x10’ that has electronics and more than one adult.

I still don't understand how a paper check clears faster than electronic payment?

And this is what many Austrialian investors who invested in the hoods of America came to realize.There are NO CHECKS in AU... its all on line. .so the thought that even one American renter did not have a bank account and pay rent electronically shocked the hell out them.But once you explain you have cronic bad credit cant get an account ( Deep south mid west) Hispanic or other foriegners ( distrust banking altogether).. they just were shocked.. the only on time rent payment in these areas IS HUD.. everything else is 90% cash and carry or money order and carry..

The fact that she responded and said she got it - shows she did get notification.Here's the Illinois law that says electronic communications satisfy any requirement that something be in "writing."

It's becoming very common to use electronic payment.

Electronic communication is legal notice now pretty much everywhere, and it can be text or email, etc.So, something like this:Dear Tenant:It is unfortunate that you have stopped communicating with me regarding your move-out.  

I will probably go with the new cell number, and consider the electronic banking option as a requirement.  

Even a text from them saying they have vacated should be fine for legal notice, as electronic communications are accepted in most states now.If their phone is still working, they should respond when they see you can keep charging them rent.
