<prompt> Human: My landlord manages only a small handful of buildings, and is generally pretty responsive. I try to send a check during the last week of every month for rent for the following month, but I have to be honest and say that there are a few times where the check has probably arrived on the 2nd or 3rd. Thats completely on me.But Ive noticed that he doesnt always cash checks right away. About three weeks into October, I sent him an email saying it didnt look as though hed cashed my October check and I wanted to make sure he recieved it. He said he didnt know what happened but just send another and cancel the first. I did, and he cashed a check a few weeks later. But he hasnt cashed the check I sent him for November nor the one I sent him last week for December. Is this normal behavior for a landlord? Should I be worried that his disorganization will negatively impact me in some way, or is it actually positive in that he might not even notice if I send a check on the 1st or 2nd? I understand that rent payments go into your credit score, but is that universal for landlords? How does that work on his end?Its sort of odd for me because the withdrawals never seem to come when I expected. I normally keep 2kish in my checking account, and when he cashed 2 800 checks in like 2 weeks apart, it threw me off because I suddenly had like 160 in my checking account.Im never sure when my balance is going to drop, and since hes missed checks, Im never even sure which months check hes cashing.  <response>: Once you write the check consider the money spent. Or open a separate account for just your rent and transfer money every time you write a rent check. You are incorrect that rent payments get reported to your credit report. Its not credit related.
