<prompt> Human: Hi everyone, sorry if this is a dumb question. But I am moving into short term housing, and my future landlord requests that rent be paid in cash. My concern is that I have always used direct deposit, and have had receipts and records to show timely rent payment. What would the equivalent be in terms of paying in cash? Im skeptical of handing him an envelope of money without any proof that I did so. I already asked him to switch to direct deposit, and he politely refused.  <response>: Give him a check, or a cashiers check.
