<p class="m_530142911755955616yiv1460943884msonormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue"">I represent a landlord in Palm Beach County whose tenant has sent him July’s rent payment through an app called Chime. Chime requires the use of debit card by the
landlord, and action to “accept” such payment.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="m_530142911755955616yiv1460943884msonormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue"">The lease does not specify the method of rent payment, but it does state payment must be made by cash, check or money order.
<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="m_530142911755955616yiv1460943884msonormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue"">The tenant has a history of making partial rent payments via Zelle and via direct bank deposit (one bank deposit was rejected for insufficient funds). The tenant’s
Zelle payments are limited to $500 per day. The tenant has been late on rent since the lease begun 3 months ago. I issued a 3-day notice and the tenant sent full rent payment via Chime. The landlord does not have a debit card required by Chime, so landlord
has been unable to accept the Chime payment. The tenant’s use of the Chime app could be another tactic being employed to delay rent and to play the system.
<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="m_530142911755955616yiv1460943884msonormal"><u><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue"">Is the Tenant’s use of the Chime app for payment an acceptable form of rent payment? <u></u><u></u></span></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue"">I want to be cautious in proceeding with an eviction due to failure to pay rent if the Tenant attempted to pay via Chime. I’m not sure if anyone has experience with this. Thank
you all for your input! <u></u><u></u></span></p>
