A check isn’t legal tender. I cannot be required to take electronic payment.

Cash money is legal tender.

Therefore, I can refuse to provide services if they are not paid in legal tender.

Acceptance of payments in forms other than legal tender is voluntary on my part.

On a more practical level, incentives matter. Make it a pain in the neck for landlords and less of them will participate.

A right of inheritance to someone else’s property. Couple that with compulsory acceptance of Section 8 tenants, and you’ll have another ingredient in the pattern of a failed housing market.The investment challenge can bring construction and renovation to a complete halt. Who would take the risk without years of negotiation?
