Unfortunately most banks in my area don’t offer cheques on personal accounts anymore. You can still cash them, but my bank hasn’t offered cheque books on personal accounts in a good few years (and I think that’s the same case for other banks in my area, too)
Not 3 years ago, I had a landlord who was very low key and hands off. This was great in the sense that we could do whatever we wanted to the apartment and he wouldn’t care, but we had to write him an actual check each month. Considering this apartment had everything we wanted with all the sprinkles for an incredible price, I was totally down to write a physical check if that’s what the guy wanted. Plus you can typically get your bank to write and send checks automatically which we ended up doing after a while. Ended up staying for 5 excellent years! 10/10 would write checks again.
Who the hell is still writing cheques? Does this landlord also contact the tenant by carrier pigeon?
When there’s a 40$ surcharge on all card payments, you do what you gotta to keep rent down.
It’s a part of why she’s so pissed about the rent thing too.

Yo, you feel like DMing me info on that apartment? Lol
My landlord updated the lease least year so that electronic payments have a fee. So fuck them they’re getting checks.
That’s fucking ridiculous, sorry to hear that.
But why can’t your landlord just accept a bank transfer every month you can set up on your banking app? Is this not a thing in the US?
