<prompt> Human: Hello PF,Ive been renting from the same place for a few years now, and Ive always paid them via my banks bill pay which generally just mails them a check. In order to make this process more electronic and simple, my landlord has asked me to pay over paypal, which sounds fair except that its her personal paypal.The Situation personal info changed:- I rent from a real estate company, e.g. Michael Bluth Real Estate- My landlord, Sally Sitwell, wants me to paypal her directly at her personal emailsomething smells here. is this a bad idea?edit: shit this got a lot of attention. thanks all for the advice! ive determined that lease is god, and if you got a problem with god, you betta renegotiate your deal.  <response>: Paypal is not a real bank. Paypal has a track record of fucking people over. I would not touch paypal with a 10 foot pole. Id even recommend the landlord not use paypal for their own safety.
