Recently my apartment management company added an option to pay your rent in two payments over the month, rather than all at once at the beginning of the month. I didn't look into it, but there's always a catch with these "pay in installments" systems. Nothing in this world is free.

I don't remember the company, but I believe the gist was, you could pay your rent "any time in the month", and/or split your rent into multiple installments each month. They suggested this to everyone over email, and while trying to figure out how to pay rent on time the first month after they took over. There are back-and-forth over if they'd take a regular check, or if they needed a Cashier's Check. They were threatening people with fees and evictions if they didn't get a cashier's check, or use the scammy service. (From the way they pushed it, I'm almost certain they share the proceeds with Greystar)
