The other day I had the pleasure of visiting one of Orlando’s newest attractions, the Orlando Eye. When we were about 400 feet above the city, my date mentioned that they forgot to pay their rent. Just when I was trying to ask if there were any late fees, they pulled out their smartphone and sent out a text. Low and behold, they paid it by text and could continue the date in peace.
Pay Bills By Text
Not everyone is fortunate to live in an apartment complex with a pay by phone solution. Some complexes will allow people to pay by placing a check in a night deposit box. However, some have abandoned that due to a rash of robberies. This led to tenants getting evicted for doing the right thing.
If a complex is closed on the weekends, the payment due date is moved a few days. It’s inconvenient to the complex as their clerks are likely to be swamped as soon as they open on the next available business day. It’s also an inconvenience to tenants as they may have paid but their check could be lost under a pile of others. This happened to me once. Fortunately, I kept my receipt that proved I paid on time.
