<prompt> Human: Hi, rpersonalfinance!I just signed the lease for my first apartment the other day. Its a great property for a great price, and the landlords are super nice - Ive heard nothing but rave reviews about them from my friends that rent there. However, when I was signing the lease, my landlord asked if I would be interested in paying the rent via checks or card. She told me that the card information is stored at a remote building they have, so they dont have peoples credit card info floating around the rental office. I dont doubt their trustworthiness, of course, but Im wondering which form of payment would be the most secure and logical.Thanks in advance!EDIT: Clarification. My landlord said I could pay with debit OR credit card, depending on which I have I have a debit card, or checks. She said that the people that jump on the card opportunity do it because they withdraw the money automatically, and I wouldnt have to worry about writing checks every month and possibly forgetting. But, like other people have mentioned, paying with my debit card wouldnt do me any benefit other than guaranteed on-time payments.  <response>: Check if theres a fee for paying with credit card. If theres no fee and you have the credit limit to easily pay, then you can use card and get the cashbackpoints for doing so.Otherwise Id just use checks.
