Cash up front
Czeslaw writes to say his landlord is very nice but insists he pays his
rent in cash. Is this legal? Is this something that could cause
problems?
No … and yes. There’s no law that says rents have to be paid by
cheque. But Czeslaw should be careful. He must insist on a signed
receipt (“une quittance”) otherwise he’ll have no proof — required by
law if there’s a dispute — that he’s made payment. Of course, the
landlord could have problems if the fisc found out (which wouldn’t
surprise me) that he’s not declaring his rental income.
