To be fair I think they still allow you to pay online with a check, but having an online portal heavily implies you should pay with a credit card.

I have heard some landlords don't accept check, only debit card, but I don't have proof.

My landlord would charge a convenience fee for an eCheck. The only way not to pay a convenience fee was to use auto pay.

I refused to do that because I didn't want to get them authorization to take whatever they wanted from my bank account. Yes, I know technically they can only charge the amount of my rent but I didn't want to deal with any "mistakes" on their part... Especially considering the piss poor job they did fixing any other problem I encountered with their property.
