<prompt> Human: I just signed a lease on a new apartment. My landlord seems easy-going and available for apartment issuesimprovements etc. We are both pretty internet-inclined, so we set up a direct transfer from my checking account to his his suggestion after I suggested we do an online payment of some type. I never keep too much money in my checking account and just transfer necessary funds from savings which he does not have any info about as needed. I also have no concerns with not being able to pay rent at any point and him somehow seizing funds. Additionally Ive set up an extra mobile password security measure with the bank for transfers over 1K. My concern is mostly about records- If I want to purchase a house in the relatively near future, will this method of rent payment be sufficient to prove that I am paying rent, or do I need those check images?  <response>: No lender is going to really care if you are paying rent or not. Theyll just ask you what your monthly rent is and then check your credit to make sure you arent delinquent.
